Chalciope (/ˌkælˈsaɪ.əpiː/; Ancient Greek: Χαλκιόπη, romanized: Khalkiópē means "bronze-face"), in Greek mythology, is a name that may refer to several characters.
- Chalciope, daughter of King Aeëtes of Colchis, sister of Medea and wife of Phrixus, by whom she had four sons: Argus, Phrontis, Melas and Cytisorus (some authors add Presbon).[1][2][3][4] When Aeetes was dethroned and banished by his brother Perses, Chalciope expressed great filial devotion and stayed by her father's side,[5] even though he had killed her husband.[2] Hesiod referred to her as Iophossa,[6] and Pherecydes as Euenia.[7]
- Chalciope, daughter of Rhexenor[8] (or of King Chalcodon of Euboea[9]) and the second wife of Aegeas, with whom he had no heirs.
- Chalciope, daughter of Eurypylus of Cos, mother of Thessalus by Heracles.[10]
- Chalciope, consort of the aforementioned Thessalus, mother of his son Antiphus,[11] presumably also of Pheidippus and Nesson.[12][13]
- Chalciope or Chalcippe, daughter of Phalerus.[14]
- Chalciope, mother of the musician Linus by Apollo.[15]

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.
