Pausanias (Greek: Παυσανίας; fl. 5th century BC) was a native of Sicily, Magna Graecia, who belonged to the family of the Asclepiadae, and whose father's name was Anchitus. He was a physician, and an eromenos[1] of the philosopher Empedocles, who dedicated to him his poem On Nature.[2] There is extant a Greek epigram on this Pausanias, which the Greek Anthology attributes to Simonides,[3] but Diogenes Laërtius to Empedocles.[4] These two sources also differ as to whether he was born, or buried, at Gela in Sicily.

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.
