Sandwick is a hamlet, often considered part of the main village of Symbister along with adjacent Harlsdale, in the parish of Nesting in southwestern Whalsay in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. It is located to the south of the main centre of Symbister; Clate lies just to the south. The Holm of Sandwick lies off the coast.[1] The British military established a radar camp in the vicinity during wartime and tanks and sheds built by the military were still in use in 1986.[2] A Catalina bomber crashed in the vicinity in the early part of World War II.[2] The Loch of Sandwick lies to the west of the village. There are burnt mounds in the lake area and caves along the coast here.[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.
