André Chastagnol (21 February 1920 – 2 September 1996) was a French historian, specializing in Latin epigraphy and literature.
After teaching at the Universities of Algiers, Rennes and Paris-X, he finished his career as a professor at the Paris-Sorbonne University. His two theses were devoted to the Praefectus urbi. He succeeded Hans-Georg Pflaum at the head of the Latin epigraphy seminar of the École pratique des hautes études where Michel Christol, Xavier Loriot, and François Jacques were among his students.[1]
His various works on the Lower Roman Empire and Late Antiquity are authoritative. He was long interested in the Augustan History, of which he provided translation and helped to improve the study.[1] His large personal library, bequeathed to the Sorbonne, is now incorporated into the Bibliothèque Serpente .
André Chastagnol was a member of the Société des Antiquaires de France.

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.
