The Imbert-Terry Baronetcy, of Strete Ralegh in Whimple in the County of Devon, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 2 July 1917 for Henry Imbert-Terry.[1] He was Chairman of the Central Organization Committee of the Conservative and Unionist Party from 1907 to 1917.
The first Baronet's sister, Mary Anne Abbot Imbert-Terry (1844–1936), married Rev. Herbert Athill, rector of Digswell, Herts., and was thus paternal grandmother of the literary editor and writer Diana Athill.[2][3][4]
The second Baronet, Sir Henry Bouhier Imbert-Terry, was a lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Artillery and served as High Sheriff of Devon in 1948, just as his brother, Capt Frederic Bouhier Imbert-Terry, was in 1928.
The family is of French origin (originally simply 'Imbert', later incorporating the name of their Vendean land property of 'la Terrière' in their surname as 'Terry'); the first Baronet was son of Henri Imbert-Terry, seigneur de la Terrière, who lived at Le Barbin, Viellevigne, France and 17, Chester Terrace, Regent's Park, London; previous generations had owned other fiefs, including at Choltière and Malescot.[5]

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.
