Oda of Metz (c. 910 – 10 April 963) was a German noblewoman.
She was the daughter of Count Gerard of Metz.[1] Her mother Oda of Saxony was a daughter of Otto I, Duke of Saxony and thus a member of the Liudolfings.[1]
In 930, Oda married Gozlin, Count of Bidgau and Methingau,[1] who gained fame as military commander for his brother, Adalberon I of Metz. Because she outlived her husband by twenty years, she was head of the household and ran the estate and lands until their children had reached adulthood.
They had the following children:
- Reginar, count of Bastogne (d. 18 April 963)
- Henry (d. 6 September 1000)
- Godfrey (935/940 – 3 September 995/1002), count of Verdun[1]
- Adalberon (935/940 – 23 January 989), archbishop of Reims 969-989.

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.
