The Fokker V.9 was part of a series of experimental aircraft which led up to the low-production D.VI fighter. The aircraft were very similar, varying in detail and power plants.
The V.9 was powered by a 60 kW (80 hp) Oberursel and first flew in December 1917; all others flew in 1918.
The V.12 was powered by an experimental 119 kW (160 hp), Steyr-Le Rhône engine.
The V.14. Like the V.12, the V.14 was powered by the 119 kW (160 hp) Steyr-Le Rhone.
The V.16 was powered by the 81 kW (110 hp) Oberursel Ur. II.
The V.33 was a development of the V.9. It was tested with both 82 kW (110 hp) and 108 kW (145 hp) Oberursel engines.

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.
