History
[edit]The wave is originally a basalt cliffed coast. After being continuously eroded by monsoon and seawater, it finally became an arch.[2]
Geology
[edit]The cave is located on Xiaomen Island. From the side, the hollow part roughly has the shape of a whale.

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.
