Porphyrus of Antioch was a Patriarch of Antioch. He succeeded Flavian I in 404 and died in 412 to be replaced by Patriarch Alexander.
In the aftermath of John Chrysostom's deposal by the Synod of the Oak and a subsequent Synod in 404, John's opponents Severian, Acacius and Antiochus sought to place priests opposed to John into positions of influence. When Flavian I died shortly after the exile of John[1] they pushed through a rapid election & consecration of Porphyrus while many residents were at the Olympic games customarily held in July or August.[1] The populace was offended that Constantius, Flavian's adjunct and a supporter of John's, was not installed.[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.
