Plus (often stylized as PLUS) is the fifteenth full-length studio album by British electronic music duo Autechre. It was released digitally, without any prior announcement, on 28 October 2020, twelve days after the release of Sign, the band's preceding album.[2] Plus was released on physical formats on 20 November 2020. The cover and packaging artwork was created by The Designers Republic, and pairs with the artwork for Sign.
Though released by Warp as an album, Sean Booth has said that Plus should really be an EP, because like many other Autechre EPs, it is composed primarily of tracks that didn’t quite fit onto its companion full-length album.[3]
Sign and Plus were both teased prior to release in a series of Autechre live mix sessions that aired on streaming service Mixlr during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

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.
