Waldburg-Waldsee was a County and later Principality within Holy Roman Empire, ruled by the House of Waldburg, located in southeastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany, around Bad Waldsee.
Waldburg-Waldsee was a partition of Waldburg-Wolfegg. When the Wolfegg branch extinguished in 1798, the Waldsee branch inherited Wolfegg. Waldburg-Waldsee was a county prior to 1803, when it was raised to a principality shortly before being mediatised to Württemberg in 1806.[1] The castle of the princes of Waldburg-Waldsee lies in the town of Kißlegg.[2]
Rulers of Waldburg-Waldsee[edit]
The Waldburg-Waldsee are one of five branches of the Waldburg family, the others being Waldburg-Waldburg, Walsdburg-Zei, Waldburg-Wolfeck, and Waldburg-Wurzach. By 1872, Waldburg, Wolfeck, and Waldsee merged into a single Waldburg-Waldsee branch. Zeil and Wurzach merged into a second branch.[3]

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.
