Meliana (Valencian pronunciation: [meliˈana]) is a municipality in the comarca of Horta Nord in the Valencian Community, Spain. Meliana was home to a mosaic tile factory circa 1860, which gained some recognition for its experimentation on methods that encouraged workers to react productively in response to the high competition in the textile industry.[2] This task continued until the 1880s, until these practices began to be criticised as exploitative and unethical by a regional newspaper.

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.
