The Military ranks of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania were the military insignia used by the Albanian People's Army. After the Second World War, the Military ranks of the Albanian Kingdom were abandoned and replaced with insignia and ranks inspired by the Soviet military ranks.[1] Albania used these ranks until May 1966, when military ranks were abolished altogether following Chinese example and based on doctrines of guerilla warfare.[2]

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.
