Arslanagić Bridge (Serbo-Croatian: Arslanagića ćuprija, Serbian Cyrillic: Арсланагића ћуприја; Turkish: Arslanağa Köprüsü),[1] is a bridge in the municipality of Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and since 25 January 2006 a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2]
During the Bosnian War, bridge was renamed Perović Bridge (Serbo-Croatian: Perovića most). An explanation for this was that intention was to divert attention from its name which was Bosniak Muslim family surname Arslanagić, and which could eventually be a reason for Serb nationalists to demolish it.[1]

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.
