Kuchurhan (Ukrainian: Кучурган; Romanian: Cuciurgan) is a village in Rozdilna Raion of Odesa Oblast in Ukraine. It is located along the Kuchurhan River at the north end of the Cuciurgan Reservoir along the border with Transnistria in Moldova. It is the site of highway, rail, and power line border crossings between Ukraine and Moldova. Kuchurhan belongs to Lymanske settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]
History
[edit]The village was established in 1808 as Strassburg by Roman Catholic German and French Alsatian immigrants to the Kutschurgan Valley, then part of the Russian Empire. It received its present name in 1944 after the remaining German residents were driven from the area by the advancing Soviet army.
Ukrainian 24 Kanal journalist Volodymyr Runets reported in March 2016 that Kuchurhan's schoolchildren were being taught anti-Americanism and that most villagers "loathe Ukrainian patriots".[2]
Baden
[edit]Baden (Ukrainian: Очеретівка, romanized: Ocheretivka; Russian: Очеретовка) was a village on the eastern shore of the Cuciurgan Reservoir, now a part of Kuchurhan.
The village was established in 1808 by Roman Catholic German immigrants to the Kutschurgan Valley, then part of the Russian Empire.[3] It was located south of the German village of Straßburg and north of Selz (present-day Lymass'ke). The remaining German residents were driven from the area by the advancing Soviet army in 1944.[citation needed]

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.
