The HVDC Italy–Greece is a monopolar submarine power cable link between Italy and Greece with a maximum transmission power of 500 megawatts. It went in service in 2001.
The HVDC Italy–Greece begins in the static inverter plant Galatina situated at 40°9′53″N 18°7′49″E / 40.16472°N 18.13028°E in Italy and is implemented in its first 43 kilometres (27 mi) as underground cables. Then it crosses the Ionian Sea as a 160 kilometres (99 mi) long submarine cable. It reaches shore just a few kilometres south of Albanian border at 39°41′00″N 20°1′09″E / 39.68333°N 20.01917°E, where the 110 kilometres (68 mi) long overhead line to Arachthos static inverter station situated at 39°11′00″N 20°57′48″E / 39.18333°N 20.96333°E starts. The cathode is implemented as bare copper wire on the Italian site, the anode is installed in a bay in Greece at 39°40′28″N 20°4′05″E / 39.67444°N 20.06806°E.

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.
