Etymology
[edit]The name Kabeliai is of unclear origin. It may be from a Lithuanian personal name Kabẽlis which is known only from Panevėžys region and possibly comes from a word Lithuanian: kabelis ('a hang, a crook, a gaff'). Otherwise, it could be from Slavic personal names Polish: Kabel, Kobiel, Kobel, Kobil, Belarusian: Кобель which descent from Belarusian: кабель, кобель 'a male wolf, a male dog, a womaniser'. It could be directly from this word as it is said that Kabeliai was a hunting dog breeding place. Finally, Belarusian: кобялка, Polish: kobiałka mean 'a basket', so it could mean 'a basket weathers' place'.[3]

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.
