The Awaj (Arabic: نهر الأعوج Nahr al-A‘waj, literally 'crooked') is a river in Syria. It rises on the eastern slopes of Mount Hermon near Arnah, flows east for 70 km (43 mi) to the south of Damascus and terminates in the Buhairat al-Hijanah.[1]
The Awaj is usually identified as the Biblical Pharpar, mentioned in the Book of Kings.

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.
