Carl Schlechter Memorial Tournament (Carl-Schlechter-Gedenkturnier) is an irregularly scheduled chess competition initiated to honor the memory of leading Austrian chess master Carl Schlechter (1874–1918), who died as a result of privations suffered in the immediate aftermath of World War I.
As of 2008, seven Memorial Tournaments have taken place mostly in Schlechter's native city of Vienna (the edition of 1971 was played in Gloggnitz, Austria), with the first and certainly strongest one, held from 15 November to 28 November 1923, organized and attended by twelve of Schlechter's colleagues. The winner was Savielly Tartakower, followed by Richard Réti, Rudolf Spielmann, Ernst Grünfeld, Lajos Steiner, Albert Becker, Karel Opočenský, Sándor Takács, Siegfried Reginald Wolf, Felix Fischer, Julius von Paray and Theodor Gruber.[1]

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.
