Bistonis is a nymph in Greek mythology who gave birth to a son of Ares, Tereus. Although she is mentioned in several surviving classical texts, she is the main subject of few or none. In at least one poem, written by Moschus in the 3rd century BCE, Lake Bistonis, in Thrace, is referred to as being her lake, and that lake is described as having a population of nymphs:[1]
| Tell all the nymphs by Bistonis’ clear lake,
The Orpheus of the Dorian isle is dead. |
Her name is similar to the name of a city in Thrace, Bistonia, said in ancient Greek mythology to have been built on the shores of that lake by Biston, who was the son of Ares and Callirrhoe.

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.
