Karina (/kəˈriːnə/) is a female given name. In modern times, the country where it is most used (in absolute terms) is Russia, whereas Belarus is where it is the most popular (relating to its population).[1]
It is a short form of Katarina – which in turn shares the same origin as its English form,[2] Katherine. It can also be a variant spelling of Carina, which is the feminine of “loved” or “dear” in both Latin and Italian.

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.
