History
[edit]Keshet Cave is a remnant of a large collapsed karst cave and is a narrow strip of rock overhanging a deep abyss.[1][2][3]
Accessed from Route 8993, the cave is a tourist attraction. It has also attracted the attention of rock climbers. At the end of 2012 it was opened for sports climbing,[4][5][6] however the climbing website 26crags.com had the info about the cave replaced with the notice that rock climbing was prohibited in the area.[7]

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.
