Toury-Lurcy (French pronunciation: [tuʁi lyʁsi]) is a commune in the Nièvre department in central France.[3]
History
[edit]From the 12th century, the village of Toury-Lurcy (formerly Thoriacum or Toriaco) was one of the fiefdoms of the Counts of Thoury (hence its name).
In 1161, the bishop of Nevers, Bernard of Saint-Saulge, recognized by letters sent to the abbot of St. Martin, Autun, that this church in his diocese was the property of the abbey, which was confirmed in 1164 by a bull of Pope Alexander III, then a refugee in France.[4] The family of Richard de Soultrait were the local lords.
The town was created in 1823 from the merger of Toury and Lurcy-sur-Abron.
The Château de Toury-Lurcy, rebuilt in 1776 on a medieval site, is classified and registered as a historical monument.[5]
Notable people
[edit]- Georges de Soultrait, count, regional historian, born and died at Toury (1822-1888).[6]
- Jean Saulnier, knight, lord of Thoury-sur-Abron, councilor and chamberlain of the king, steward of Isabeau, duchess of Bourbonnais, and bailiff of Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier, died in 1389.[7]
- Agnes de Tressolles, wife of Jean Saulnier.
- Florimond-Augustin Daubois, parish priest of Toury from 1710 to 1742, left many precious annotations on the margins of his actions in the parish registers.[8]

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.
