SFGate is a news website based out of San Francisco, California, covering news, culture, travel, food, politics and sports in the San Francisco Bay Area, Hawaii and California. The site, owned by Hearst Newspapers, reaches approximately 25 million to 30 million unique readers a month, making it the second most popular news site in California, after the Los Angeles Times.[1][2][3]
Launched on November 3, 1994 as The Gate,[4] and renamed SFGate in 1998, the site once served as the digital home of the San Francisco Chronicle.[5] SFGate and the San Francisco Chronicle split into two separate newsrooms in 2019, with independent editorial staff.[6] The SFGate newsroom consists of about 40 staff, including Drew Magary and Rod Benson.[7] Grant Marek has served as editor-in-chief since 2019.

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.
