On Justice (Greek: Περὶ Δικαίου; Latin: De Justo[1]) is a Socratic dialogue that was once thought to be the work of Plato.[2] In the short dialogue, Socrates discusses with a friend questions about what is just and unjust.[3]
This work is not to be confused with Plato's Republic, whose alternate title in ancient times was also On Justice.

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.
