Pengkalan Kempas (Negeri Sembilan Malay: Pongkalan Kompeh; Jawi: ڤڠكالن كمڤاس; Chinese: 船头) is a hamlet in Port Dickson District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The Pengkalan Kempas Historical Complex is located here. It is also called Keramat Ujung Pasir.
Pengkalan Kempas Historical Complex[edit]
Located about 23 km from the Cape Rachado (Tanjung Tuan) lighthouse and 34 km from Port Dickson town. Here you will find a 15th-century tomb of a historical personality, Ulama Sheikh Ahmad Majanu, with its famous carved megalith.[1] Next to his grave are the famous stone inscriptions or "Batu Bersurat" which depict his struggle and victory. The enigma surrounding the stone remains unsolved to this day. Of special interest is the ‘ordeal stone’, an ancient lie-detector, through which a person puts his arm when answering questions. If he lies, the stone tightens like a vice.

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.
