Nam Nao (Thai: น้ำหนาว, pronounced [náːm nǎːw]) is the northeasternmost district (amphoe) of Phetchabun province, northern Thailand.
History[edit]
On 16 November 1978 the tambons Nam Nao and Lak Dan were split from Lom Sak district and made into a minor district (king amphoe).[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 19 July 1991.[2]
Geography[edit]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Phu Luang and Phu Kradueng of Loei province, Phu Pha Man of Khon Kaen province, Khon San of Chaiyaphum province, and Lom Sak and Lom Kao of Phetchabun Province. The district's east side borders Phu Kradueng Mountain.
Nam Nao National Park is in the district.
Administration[edit]
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 30 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesabana) in the district. There are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

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.
