Şükrullah was a 15th-century Ottoman historian and diplomat.[2][1] He was one of the earliest Ottoman historians.
Biography
[edit]Şükrullah was born in 1388 and his father's name was Şehâbeddin Ahmed. He entered the Ottoman service in 1409.[1] He served as judge in Bursa. In 1449, Şükrullah was sent by Murad II to the Qoyunlu Confederacy as an ambassador.[3] It was here, during the reign of Jahan Shah, that he encountered a history of the Oghuz Turks.[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.
