Amblada (Ancient Greek: Ἄμβλαδα) was a town of ancient Lycaonia or of Pisidia, inhabited in Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times.[1] It was the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[2] Strabo places it in Pisidia;[3] the bishopric was suffragan to the metropolitan of Lycaonia.[2] The coin minted copper coins during the period of the Antonines and their successors, with the epigraph Ἀμβλαδέων.
Its site is located near Hisartepe [Wikidata], Seydişehir, Konya Province, Turkey.[1][4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
