23 Aquilae is a binary star[8] system in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 23 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is at a distance of about 400 light-years (120 parsecs) with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.10,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star. The brightness of the star is diminished by 0.21 in magnitude because of extinction from interstellar dust and gas.[4] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of –23 km/s.[4]
The primary component of this system is a magnitude 5.31 K-type giant star or bright giant with a stellar classification of K1.[9] The star is radiating 165 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,740 K.[1] Orbiting at an angular separation of 3.25 arcseconds is a magnitude 8.76 companion star.[8]

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.
