Llanishen (Welsh: Llanisien) is a village in Monmouthshire, southeast Wales, United Kingdom. It is located 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Monmouth and 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Trellech on the B4293 road, although the main part of the village is set immediately to the west of the road, overlooking the Vale of Usk.
History and amenities
[edit]The village takes its name from the original dedication of the parish church to St. Isan or Issien, who was said to have been a follower of the 6th century Celtic St. Illtyd. The church is mentioned in the 12th century Book of Llandaff.[1]
The existing church is dedicated to St. Dennis. It was completely rebuilt in 1852–54 and no evidence of an earlier church remains.[2] Pant-glas Farmhouse and its barn are situated to the north of the church, and both have Grade II* listed building status.[3][4]
The village is set within what is termed the Wye Valley Forest Park, the upland area within the River Wye AONB.
Llanishen has a public house, the Carpenter's Arms, which was dates from 1700.[5][6]
The village has a village hall which serves the three parishes of Llanishen, Llanfihangel-Tor-Y-Mynydd and Trellech Grange.[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.
