The Sula Reef (Norwegian: Sularevet) is a deep-water coral reef off the coast of Trøndelag, Norway. It is located on the Sula Ridge, named after the island of Sula. The reef is generated by the coral Lophelia pertusa. It has a length of about 13 kilometers (8.1 mi), and is 700 meters (2,300 ft) wide. The thickness of the reef is up to 35 meters (115 ft). Until the discovery of the Røst Reef in 2002, the Sula Reef was the world's largest known Lophelia reef.[1] The Sula Reef is closed to trawling.[2]

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.
