Lemta, historically Leptiminus, is a town in Tunisia with a history going back over 3,000 years.
History[edit]
The history of the town starts in the 13th century b.c.e. with the founding attributed to Phoenician sailors.[2]
Leptiminus, as it was called, became an ancient port city in Tunisia that flourished under Roman rule in the time of the empire. Hannibal, following the second Punic War, disembarked here on his return from Italy.
Today[edit]
The growing town, now a textile production center, hosts several excavation sites currently under Tunisian, American, and Canadian direction.

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.
