In Greek mythology, Eunostus[pronunciation?] or Eunostos was a goddess whose image was set up in mills, and who was believed to keep watch over the just weight of flour.[1][2][3]
Promylaia ("the one that stands before/protects the mill") was another name for a goddess of the mills, who was worshipped in the same fashion as Eunostus.[4] Both Eunostus and Promylaia could actually have been mere epithets of Demeter.[citation needed]

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.
