Prokupac (Serbian Cyrillic: Прокупац) is a red Serbian wine grape that is often used to produce darkly colored rosé. The grape is noted for the high sugar levels it can achieve prior to harvest and the high levels of alcohol it can produce following fermentation.[1]
Prokupac is the 9th most planted grape in terms of commercial plantations' area. It is most planted in the Three Moravas, Toplica, and Leskovac wine regions.[2]
The reasons why Prokupac is widespread grape in Serbia include:[3]

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.
