Husøy is a village in Senja Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The village covers the entire island of Husøy which is located in the Øyfjorden off the northwest coast of the large island of Senja. The village/island is located about 53 kilometres (33 mi) southwest of the city of Tromsø. The village of Fjordgård sits about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) across the fjord on the island of Senja.[3]
The 0.12-square-kilometre (30-acre) village has a population (2023) of 276 and a population density of 2,517 inhabitants per square kilometre (6,520/sq mi).[1] Up until recent times, the island was only accessible by boat; however, it is now connected to the island of Senja by a 300-metre-long (980 ft) causeway. The island has a grocery store, primary and secondary school, daycare, restaurant, and Husøy Chapel.

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.
