EponymSanta María

Santa María Rupes is a prominent lobate escarpment and fault line on Mercury.[2][3] According to data from Aricebo, it has a relief of roughly 700m.[4][3] The formation was named after the ship Santa María, used by Christopher Columbus.[5][6] The escarpment was probably created as Mercury cooled and thus contracted.[6]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. 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.
