Dhrovjan (Albanian definite form: Dhrovjani; Greek: Δρόβιανη, Droviani) is a community in the Vlorë County, southern Albania.[1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Finiq.[2] It is located 18 kilometers (11 mi) east of Sarandë. An ethnic Greek village, in 1967 it contained around 300 houses, divided into two Mahalle.[3] Ancient Greek coins have been excavated in the fields of Dhrovjan,[citation needed] which have provided evidence that there were once several ancient Greek temples in the area[according to whom?]. Dhrovjan is the burial place of Harold 'Bill' Sykes, a British bi-plane pilot shot down in November 1940.
Dhrovjan is inhabited solely by Greeks.[4]

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.
