Town in the west of ancient Pontus
Phazemon (Ancient Greek: Φαζημών), also known as Thermai Phazemoniton,[1] was a town in the west of ancient Pontus, south of the Gazelonitis, and north of Amasia; it contained hot mineral springs.[2] Pompey, after his victory over Mithridates, planted a colony there, and changed its name into Neapolis, from which the whole district was called Neapolitis, having previously been called Phazemonitis.[3][4]
Its site is located near Havza, Asiatic Turkey.[1][5]

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.
