Town on the coast of ancient Cilicia
Philaea or Philaia (Ancient Greek: Φιλαία), also called Palaeae or Palaiai and Palaea or Palaia, was a town on the coast of ancient Cilicia mentioned in the Stadiasmus Maris Magni.[1]
Its site is located near Tahta Limanı (on Eğribük bay) in Asiatic Turkey.[2][3] Although there are very few ruins, an underwater survey reveals that most of the ruins are submerged in the water.[4] There is also a necropolis. Judging from the grave types it is believed that Philaea was a Roman town.[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.
