Pioneer is a planning area located in the West Region of Singapore, named after Pioneer Road, formerly Jalan Besi[2]. The area is bounded by Jurong West to the north, Boon Lay to the east, Tuas to the west, the Western Water Catchment to the northwest and Selat Jurong to the south, and contains the Joo Koon, Benoi and Gul Circle industrial estates.
During the development of Jurong Industrial Estate, JTC Corporation renamed to English the Malay-named roads that ply the area, especially those near Jalan Buroh. Pioneer Road was Jalan Besi (Malay: Metal Road), while Pioneer Road North was Jalan Bandaran (Malay: Town Road) and Pioneer Circus was Bulatan Besi (Malay: Metal Circus or Metal Circle).

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.
