Mont Brome (aka Bromont, Bromount, Mount Brome) is part of the Monteregian Hills in southern Quebec. Its summit stands 553 m (1,814 ft) above sea level. It is near the town of Bromont, Quebec. The ski resort Ski Bromont lies on its slopes.
Geology
[edit]Mont Brome might be the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago.[2] The mountain was created when the North American Plate moved westward over the New England hotspot,[2] along with other mountains of the Monteregian Hills that form part of the vast Great Meteor hotspot track.

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.
