Solenaia is a genus of freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve mollusks in the family Unionidae.[1]
Distribution
[edit]Most of the species in this genus are endemic to the Yangtze River Basin of China. Additional species are found in Thailand, Northeastern India[4] and Korea.
Species

- Solenaia carinata (Heude, 1877)
- Solenaia emarginata (Lea, 1860)
- Solenaia iridinea (Heude, 1874):[7] Better known as Solenaia oleivora in Chinese literatures.[3][7]
- Solenaia khwaenoiensis Panha & Deein, 2003:[8] Endemic to the Khwae Noi River in Thailand, the famous river in the movie The Bridge over the River Kwai.
- Solenaia neotriangularis He & Zhuang, 2013[9][10]

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.
