The Tabernas Desert, because of its similarities to North American deserts as seen in western movies, to northern Africa and to the Arabian deserts, and because of its lunar landscape, served from the 1950s onwards for the shooting of many films needing such landscapes (e.g. the Spaghetti Westerns), making the area world-renowned.

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.
