9 Cephei (9 Cep), also known as V337 Cephei, is a variable star in the constellation Cepheus.
9 Cephei was given the name V337 Cephei and classified as an α Cygni variable in 1967.[9] It varies irregularly between magnitude 4.69 and 4.78.[2] A study of the Hipparcos satellite photometry showed an amplitude of 0.56 magnitudes, but could find no periodicity.[10]
9 Cephei is considered to be a member of the Cepheus OB2 stellar association, a scattering of massive bright stars around a thousand parsecs away in the southern part of the constellation Cepheus.[3]
Calculations of the physical properties of 9 Cephei vary considerably even from broadly similar observational data. Modelling using the non-LTE line-blanketed CMFGEN atmospheric code gives a temperature of 18,000 K, radius of 40 R☉, luminosity of 151,000 L☉, and mass of 21 M☉.[3] Calculations using the FASTWIND model give gives a temperature of 19,200 K, radius of 32 R☉, luminosity of 129,000 L☉, and mass of 12 M☉.[7]

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.
