Kalugwis, or Karlukwees[1] or Qalogwis,[2] is the principal community of the Tlowitsis Nation of the Kwakwaka'wakw peoples of the Johnstone Strait region of the South Coast of British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the south shore of Turnour Island facing Beware Passage[3] and is within Karlukwees Indian Reserve No. 1, a.k.a. Karlukwees 1, 10.8 ha.[4]
Name origin
[edit]The Ławit'sis moved to this location about 1850 from Klaoitsis, with IR No. 1 allocated in 1886. In 1914, there were 21 houses. Kalugwis is important in many Kwakwaka'wakw stories, including that concerning the origins of the Winter Ceremonies, and others concerning the origins of tides at the location.[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.
