Çifte Minareli Medrese (Persian: مدرسه اسلامی جفت مناره), literally "Double Minaret Madrasah", is a former medrese located in Sivas, Turkey.[1] It was built in 1271/2. It was commissioned by Shams al-Din Juvayni (Şemseddin Cüveynî, died 1284) an Ilkhanid vizier.[2]
He left a dedicatory inscription on the building:
The construction of this blessed madrasa was ordered by the great statesman, the king of the viziers (ministers) of the world, Shams al-Dīn wa-l-Dunyā Muḥammad b. Muḥammad, the ṣāḥib dīwān, may God perpetuate his rule, in the year 670.

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.
