History
[edit]As the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company built a line west from Casper in 1905-06, Moneta was made a stop (about 82.6 miles west of Casper),[2] and was laid out in 1906.[3][4] It was named after Moneta, Iowa.[3] A post office was established in Moneta in 1906, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1972.[5]
In 2002, the vehicle in the "Lil' Miss murder" was uncovered in Moneta after DNA evidence linked the landowner, Dale Wayne Eaton, to the murder of Lisa Kimmell.[6] Following a civil suit in which Eaton's land was given to Kimmell's parents, the buildings on the property were burned to the ground.[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.
