History
[edit]The club was opened in 1947 by Freddie Chauvelot, Christian Casadesus, Paul Lavigne, Marc Doelnitz, and Boris Vian. Throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, it booked leading figures in the French jazz scene such as Barney Wilen, René Urtreger, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, Lalo Schifrin, and Pierre Michelot. Many visiting Americans played in the club, including Miles Davis, Art Blakey, and Kenny Dorham, along with Bud Powell and Kenny Clarke, who settled in Paris for longer periods. From 1959, the main European rival was the Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen.
The building of the defunct Club Saint-Germain used to be home to the supper club Bilboquet.

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.
