The Casa Fernandini is a historic residence located in the historic centre of Lima, Peru. It was built in 1913 and is located at 400 Jirón Ica. It was designed by Claude Sahut in an eclectic style.[1]
History[edit]
The building was designed by Claude Sahut in an eclectic style for the miner Eulogio Fernandini and his family. Concrete and brick were used in its structure. Its distribution is structured around a large room covered by an iron and glass lamppost. Stylistically, it is an eclectic style building that mixes Rococo and Art Nouveau elements. The first style is expressed in rockeries and fretwork, and Art Nouveau in the design of the wooden carpentry and in the bars of the railings, windows and doors, as well as in the stained glass windows and streetlights.[2]
The building is currently a House Museum where cultural activities take place regularly.[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.
