The Tamarac Wilderness is a 2,180-acre (9 km2) wilderness area in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Established by the United States Congress in 1976, Tamarac Wilderness is composed primarily of small lakes, wooded potholes, bogs and marshes.[1] The wilderness consists of four sections of the 42,724-acre (173 km2) Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge: three islands in Tamarac Lake totaling about 65 acres (0 km2) in the southwest section, and more than 2,180 acres (9 km2) in the northwest corner.[2]
Vegetation[edit]
Much of the wilderness is forested with white pine, maple, red oak, birch, and elm, with an under story of hazelbrush. Portions of the area were logged in the early years of the twentieth century and contain second growth aspen. On the lower, wetter sites of the wilderness, ash, balsam poplar, tamarack, and spruce are common.[1]
Wildlife[edit]
A variety of wildlife can be found in the Tamarac Wilderness, including bald eagle, osprey, black bear, ruffed grouse, white-tailed deer, otter, porcupine, fox, beaver, coyote, and timber wolf, as well as numerous passerine birds.[1][2] Fish found in Tamarac Lake include northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and yellow perch.[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.
