Sun Long (simplified Chinese: 孙隆; traditional Chinese: 孫隆; pinyin: Sūn Lóng; Wade–Giles: Sun Lung; was a Chinese landscape painter that was active during the early Ming dynasty (1368–1644). His specific dates of birth and death have not been official or known, though he was active during the Xuande era.

  1. 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.
