Ceccardo Egidio Fucigna (1834–1884) was an Italian sculptor[1] who established a long partnership with the architect William Burges.
Fucigna worked as an assistant to John Birnie Philip until the latter's death in 1875, and then oversaw the completion of some of Philip's works, including the monument to Edward Akroyd, MP, at Halifax.[2][3]
He later worked with William Burges at Cardiff Castle, where he sculpted the Virgin and Child in the Roof Garden,[4] at Castell Coch, where he was responsible for the Madonna over the drawbridge gate, and also undertook work at Royal Holloway College[5] and at the Albert Memorial.

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.
