Pyrenaearia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the subfamily Leptaxinae of the family Hygromiidae, the harry snails and their allies.[2]
These snails live in limestone areas in the Pyrenees mountains of southwestern Europe.

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.
