Russians in Goa[edit]
Immigrants[edit]
The state of Goa have received many Russian immigrants in the last few years. The Russian exodus to Goa has become a trend as many young people who are unhappy with life back home are moving there for good in search of inner peace. Cheap daily charter flights are now carrying thousands of Russians to the Indian State of Goa famous for its beaches and laid-back mood. Many Russians have also set up businesses in Goa.[2] Many beach side restaurants post their signboards in English and Russian to attract Russian-speaking customers.
The village of Morjim is dubbed "Little Russia" by locals because of the high number of Russians living there.
Tourists[edit]
Goa has always been the favourite haunt among Russian travelers to India. On average, an estimated 3,500 Russians would descend on Goa's shores every ten days in the tourism season.[3] [4][5] [6][7] [8]

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.
