The sixth Baronet, Sir John Valentine Carden was a notable tank and vehicle designer. The family was originally from Cheshire, England, but settled at Templemore in County Tipperary around 1650. Admiral John Surman Carden was a member of another branch of this family. The family seat was Templemore Abbey, built 1819 by architect William Vitruvius Morrison in the Tudor-Gothic style, extended in the 1860s, vacated in 1902, burnt in 1921, and demolished c1925. The family previously lived in the Butler Castle, accidentally destroyed by a fire in 1740, with the ruins now known as The Black Castle.

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.
