Burdhubo District, also spelled Buurdhuubo, in Arabic بورطوبis a district in the southwestern Gedo region of Somalia.[1] Its capital is Burdhubo.
The terrorist group Al-Shabaab has operated in the district in recent years. On 4 November 2011, some of its members kidnapped ten district clan elders.[2] On 6 January 2012, Voice of America reported that the Somali media had stated that government troops, backed by Kenyan forces, were advancing into the area, while "al-Shabab" had withdrawn from the district.[3] In March 2014, it was reported that heavy fighting had broken out and that government forces, this time aided by Ethiopian soldiers, had forced Al-Shabaab to vacate the district.[4][5]
A 12 April 2014 government decree announced that Hassan Mohamed Ali and Ali Mataan Ali had been appointed district commissioner and deputy commissioner respectively.[6] On 30 January 2015, Hassan Mohamed Ali confirmed that his deputy had been shot and killed by government troops.[7]

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.
