Präsidium des Bundes or Bundespräsidium (German: [ˈbʊndəs.pʁɛˌziːdi̯ʊm], roughly chairmanship of the federation) was a title under the German Confederation (1815–1848, 1851–1866) whereby the Austrian delegate held the chair of the Federal Assembly. Austria was thus called the presiding power (German: Präsidialmacht). This did not give Austria extra competencies: its delegate simply led the proceedings of the Federal Assembly.[1]
Later, during the North German Confederation (1867–1871), the same title was used for an office functioning as head of state.[2] According to the constitution, the holder of this office was always the king of Prussia. The king was also Bundesfeldherr, federal commander-in-chief. The constitutional changes of 1870–1871 renamed the North German Confederation to the German Empire; the title and function of Bundespräsidium remained, but was combined with the additional title Deutscher Kaiser (German Emperor).

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.
