Patatas bravas (Spanish: [paˈtatas ˈβɾaβas], also called patatas a la brava or papas bravas, all meaning "spicy potatoes") is a dish native to Spain.[1] It typically consists of white potatoes that have been cut into 2-centimeter (0.79 in)-wide cubes, then fried in oil and served warm with a spicy "brava" sauce.
Visitors to Spain often confuse it with the similar dish patatas mixtas, which consists of fried potatoes served with both brava sauce and aioli sauce. [citation needed]
The brava sauce is primarily paprika (using high-quality Spanish pimentón de la Vera) and olive oil based, [citation needed] with some regions adding tomato, although this can be contentious.
The dish is commonly served in restaurants and bars throughout Spain as a variety of tapa.[2]
Consumption[edit]
Patatas bravas are served in bars in servings that contain approximately a quarter kilo of potato. [citation needed] It is frequently consumed as part of tapas.
The same "sauce" is sometimes served over mussels. This dish is known as mejillones en salsa brava.[citation needed]

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.
