History
[edit]Between 1910 and 1928 the Borough, and later, City of Stoke-on-Trent had a mayor rather than a lord mayor. The first Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent was Cecil Wedgwood of the Wedgwood pottery dynasty.[1] The title of Lord Mayor was first conferred on the City of Stoke-on-Trent by King George V on 10 July 1928.

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.
