Alfonso or Alonso Manrique de Lara y Solís (Segura de León, Badajoz, 1476 – Seville, 28 September 1538) was a Spanish churchman.
Biography
[edit]Manrique was born in Segura de León in Badajoz, apparently a son from the third marriage of the famous Rodrigo Manrique de Lara with a Solís-Castañeda woman (1404 – Ocaña, 1476), being therefore a very young stepbrother of the poet Jorge Manrique de Lara (circa 1440 – 1479, died besieging the castle of Garcimuñoz). Jerónimo Manrique de Lara was his son.
He was Bishop of Badajoz (September 1499 until before 1516), Bishop of Córdoba (August 1516 – 1523) and Archbishop of Seville (from August 1523). He was Inquisitor General (September 1523 onwards) as a successor of Adrian of Utrecht (later Pope Adrian VI), and appointed around February – April 1531 as cardinal-priest of the Santi Apostoli, Rome. After he was given the title of cardinal-priest of San Callisto, from 17 April 1531 till 12 July 1532.[1]
He died on 28 September 1538 in Seville after falling from a horse.

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.
