Sundbyfoss is named after the local waterfall on the river Sundbyelva. The waterfall provided the basis for early industry in the village. Today, Sundbyfoss is mainly a residential area. The largest industrial enterprise is the "Haslestad Bruk" sawmill. Historically, the old private Tønsberg–Eidsfoss railway line and Holmestrand–Vittingfoss railway line both went through Sundbyfoss.[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.
