Area code 828 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for most of the western third of the U.S. state of North Carolina. The numbering plan area (NPA) comprises the Blue Ridge Mountains and most of the Foothills. The largest city is Asheville.
Area code 828 was split from the 704 numbering plan area on March 22, 1998 to provide relief from numbering plan exhaustion brought about by the popularity of pagers and cell phones.[1]
Service area[edit]
Among the cities and towns in the 828 numbering plan area are: Asheville, Conover, Hendersonville, Hickory, Lenoir, Maiden, Marion, Morganton, Murphy, and Newton.
The city of Hickory is often grouped with the Charlotte metropolitan area, but uses 828 rather than Charlotte's area codes 704 and 980.

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.
