Nahr as-Sinn (Arabic: نهر السن) is a river in Syria which marks the borders between Tartus Governorate and Latakia Governorate.
History[edit]
In ancient times, the river was called "Siyannu" which marked the southern borders of Ugarit.[1]
Course[edit]
Nahr as-Sinn rises in a plain area in Tartus Governorate and runs to the west to finally flow into the Mediterranean Sea south of Arab al-Mulk. Despite its length which is only 6 kilometres (3.7 mi), it is considered the richest river in Syria.[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.
