Goedverwacht is a settlement in Bergrivier Local Municipality, West Coast District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa, located off the R399 road near Piketberg.
The village originates from a cattle farm established in 1810, which was then bought by Moravian missionaries in 1889.[2]
An annual festival is hosted by Goedverwacht Development Forum called the Snoek en Patat Fees. Thousands of festival goers flock to Goedverwacht during the first week of the June school holidays in the Western Cape Province.[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.
