Bismuth hydroxide (Bi(OH)
3) is non-fully characterised chemical compound of bismuth. It is produced as white flakes when alkali is added to a solution of a bismuth salt and is usually described as bismuth oxide hydrate[1] or bismuth hydrate.[2]
Uses[edit]
Bismuth hydrate is a component used in milk of bismuth[3] which is used in gastrointestinal disorders as a protective agent.[4] Aqueous ammonia reacts with bismuth(III) ions to precipitate white bismuth hydroxide.[5]
It is used as an absorbent, and in the hydrolysis of ribonucleic acid. It is also used in the isolation of plutonium from irradiated uranium.

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.
