Stow Green Castle, also known as Castle Tump, was a castle near the village of St Briavels in Gloucestershire, England.
The castle is believed to have been built after the Norman Conquest. The castle was a small circular ring-motte fortification, once measuring 35 yards across, now only 25 yards, with a high motte, or mound, in the middle and a protective ditch around it.[1] The entrance to the castle was on the south side of the fortification.[2] The castle would have defended the Stowe valley, and was probably a precursor to the later St Briavels Castle in the same area.[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.
