Wetsens is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 55 in January 2017.[3] and is considered to be one of the oldest villages in the north-east of Friesland. Before 2019, the village was part of the Dongeradeel municipality.[4]
The village was first mentioned in 1417 as Witzenser Therpe, and means "terp (artificial living mound) of the people of Wytse". See also Wetsinge.[5] The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century. In 1842, the tower collapsed, and has been replaced by a simple belfry. In 1840, Wetsens was home to 131 people.[4]

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.
