Umm al-Ḥawaʼir (Arabic: أُمّ اَلْحَوَائِر, romanized: Umm al Ḩawā'ir) is a settlement in northern Qatar, located in the municipality of Ash Shamal.[1]
Etymology
[edit]In Arabic, "umm" translates to mother and is used at the beginning of place names to ascribe an area with a particular geographic feature. "Hawa'ir" is derived from the Arabic term "hawaya", roughly translating to "to consist of". This name was bestowed on it due to the area consisting of numerous geographic features, such as a rawda, a well and several hills.[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.
