Carambis or Karambis (Ancient Greek: Κάραμβις) was an ancient Greek city[1] of ancient Paphlagonia, on a promontory of the same name.[2] The town is mentioned in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax (under the name Caramus or Karamos) and by Pliny the Elder.[3] The name occurs as Carambas in the Peutinger Table.[4]

The promontory is now known as Kerempe Burnu. Its site is tentatively located near Fakas, Kastamonu Province, Turkey.[5][6]

  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.
