Legend
[edit]Legend has it that the pagoda was built by a weizza (who married a dragon princess) and his daughter Queen Sawnanwai, as well as his son, a dragon king, who became nats (spirit) after they were died with a violent death.[2] The dragon king and his enemy, the giant frog king, formed Hpa-an. The pagoda's grounds contain impressive statues of these legendary figures.[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.
