Tulana also known as Tulanensis was a civitas (town) of the province of Africa Proconsularis[1] during the Roman Empire.
Very little is known of the town. Its location is now lost and the town is recorded only through the Notitia of Africa and the records of various Church Council. We know of a bishop of the town called Paul in the early 5th century and another named Pascasius who was exiled by the Vandal king Huneric in 484 AD.[2][3][4] The ancient bishopric survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church and Otacilio Ferreira de Lacerda is the current bishop replacing Heinrich Timmerevers, in 2016.[5]

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.
