Ruigahuizen (West Frisian: Rûgehuzen) is a small village in De Fryske Marren municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands, south-west of Balk. It had a population of around 120 in 2017.[3]
One of Frieslands' wooden bell towers is at the cemetery. In a farmyard at the Rûchsterwei, there is an American wind engine.
History
[edit]The village was first mentioned between 1243 and 1254 as Rughahusem. It either means settlement near rough/wild land or settlement of Roege (person).[4] A church was references as early as 1421, however it was demolished in the 18th century leaving only the bell tower. The tower was replaced in 1920. In 1840, Ruigahuizen was home to 32 people.[5]
Before 2014, Ruigahuizen was part of the Gaasterlân-Sleat municipality, and before 1984 it was part of Gaasterland.[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.
