Mezzoramia is a mythical paradise in the African desert, from a story by Simon Berington. Gaudentio di Lucca, the main character of the tale, discovers the secret, narrow road that provides the only access to the oasis, and resides there for twenty-five years.[1][2][3][4]
In 2006, a dark albedo feature (region) of Saturn's moon Titan was named Mezzoramia after the mythical location.[5]

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.
