Cannabaceae

Eleutheromania, or eleutherophilia is "a mania or frantic zeal for freedom".[1] The term is sometimes used in a psychological context, sometimes likening it to a mental disorder, such as John G Robertson's definition, that describes it as a mad zeal or irresistible craving for freedom.[2] However, it's also sometimes used to simply mean a passion for liberty.[3] Individuals with this condition are called eleutheromaniacs.[4] An antonym for the term is eleutherophobia. An individual that fears freedom is an eleutherophobe.[2]

  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.
