The Friniates were an ancient Eastern Ligurian people who lived in Cisalpine Gaul (Northern Italy), in the Apennines area between the current provinces of Reggio Emilia and Modena. With the Roman conquest of Cisalpine Gaul, they were reduced to subjection by Gaius Flaminius in 187 BCE.[1] A portion of the land of the Friniates makes up the current historical ethno-cultural region known as Frignân in the local Gallo-Italic language (Italian: Frignano).

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.
