The Prix de la page 112 is a French literary award created in 2012 by the French editor and literary critic Claire Debru.[1]
Purpose
[edit]The name and the purpose of this award was inspired by Woody Allen's film Hannah and Her Sisters. In the film, actor Michael Caine tells a woman that she reminds him of a love poem on page 112 of a book of poetry written by e e cummings.[1][2] If an entire work is to be judged,[3] this principle assumes that page 112 is an index of quality since the beginning and the end of the work are subjected to a greater amount of attention by authors and editors,[1] whereas page 112 is the ventre mou or soft belly.[3] Thus, the jury members first read this page to determine if a book should be read to qualify for the award.[1][3]

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.
