Sybrita (Ancient Greek: Σύβριτα),[1] or Subrita or Soubrita (Σούβριτα),[2] or Subritus or Soubritos (Σούβριτος),[3] or Sibyrtus or Sibyrtos (Σίβυρτος),[4] was a town of ancient Crete, 8 M. P. from Eleutherna,[5] and famous for its numerous and beautiful silver coins, which, though some of them belong to a very early period, are fine specimens of a Cretan mint; the types are always connected with the worship of Dionysus or Hermes.[6]
It was the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential bishop, under the name Subrita it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[7]
The site of Sybrita is located near modern Thronos.[8][9]

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.
