The Thirrë-Kalimash Tunnel is a highway tunnel in Thirrë, Albania under the A1 Albania–Kosovo Highway. It is part of the South-East European Route 7. The tunnel is of great importance and together with the highway have reduced the travel duration between Tirana and Kosovo border from 8 hours to 3 hours, with an estimated speed of 80–110 km/h.[1] It also boosted tourism in Albania and deepened the cultural and economic exchanges between Albania and Kosovo.

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.
