The Battle of Simbach on May 9, 1743, took place during the War of Austrian Succession near Simbach am Inn. It ended with a heavy defeat of the Bavarian troops against the Austrians.
Aftermath
[edit]Altogether the loss of dead and captured Bavarians, Palatines and Hessians amounted to about 4,000 men, the Austrians only lost a little over a hundred men. Simbach was completely destroyed except for one house, and the surrounding area was also devastated. Braunau had to be handed over on July 4. Soon after, the French-occupied towns of Dingolfing, Landau and Deggendorf were also taken by the Austrians.[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.
