NGC 4306 is a dwarf[2][3][4] barred lenticular galaxy located about 100 million light-years away[5] in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on April 16, 1865.[6] Although considered to be a member of the Virgo Cluster,[4][7] its high radial velocity and similar distance as NGC 4305 suggest that NGC 4306 is a background galaxy.[8] NGC 4306 is a companion of NGC 4305[8] and appears to be interacting with it.[9][10]

  1. 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.
