The Basilica of St Therese of the Child Jesus (Arabic: بازيليك القديسة تريز الطفل يسوع هي) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Cairo, Egypt, dedicated to Thérèse of Lisieux. The foundation stone of the church was laid in 1931 and the construction was finished in 1932. The church is under the circumscription of the Apostolic Vicariate of Alexandria of Egypt. It was decreed basilica on July 8, 1972. Saint Therese is well known among both Egyptian Catholics and Copts. Hundreds of votive tablets covering the walls of the crypt testify the granted intercession of the saint.[1] On the Line 2 metro, the metro station close to the basilica is named after Saint Theresa.[2]

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.
