Gruline (Scottish Gaelic: Grùilinn) is a small settlement on the Isle of Mull, in Argyll and Bute, off the west coast of Scotland. The hamlet is located west of Salen on the other side of a 2 mile wide isthmus where the B8073 and B8035 converge at the head of Loch na Keal.[1]
The boundaries of the settlement are very hard to differentiate from the neighbouring settlements of Knock and Killiechronan. The settlement sits between the two large estates of Gruline estate and Benmore estate.
The settlement borders Loch Bà and sits under Ben More and the other mountains of central Mull.
Etymology[edit]
The English name Gruline comes from the Gaelic name Grùilinn, which means "stony land".[2]

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.
