Broek (West Frisian: De Broek) is a small village in De Fryske Marren in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 190 in 2017.[3]
History
[edit]The village was first mentioned in 1482 as Broech, and means "swampy land".[4] Broek is a stretched out settlement, and the signs use Broek-Noord (north) and Broek-Zuid (south), because the two parts are not interconnected. In 1840, it was home to 158 people. The current church dates from 1913. Since 2014, it also functions as a village centre.[5]
Before 2009, Broek was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Doniawerstal.[5]

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.
