Giles of Bridport was a medieval Bishop of Salisbury.
Giles was archdeacon of Berkshire in the diocese of Salisbury as well as Dean of Wells[1] before he was elected bishop between 13 February and 15 April 1256 and consecrated on 11 March 1257. He died in December 1262, probably on the 13th.[2] He founded the College of the Valley Scholars at Salisbury in 1262 and may have been the brother of Simon of Bridport, who was treasurer of the diocese of Salisbury.[1] He is commemorated by a statue in niche 169 on the west front of Salisbury Cathedral.

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.
