The Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of Beirut is the sole eparchy (Eastern Catholic diocese) of the Chaldean Catholic Church (sui iuris, Syro-Oriental Rite in Syriac/Aramaic language) for all Lebanon.
It is immediately dependent on the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Babylon (in Baghdad, Iraq), not part of any ecclesiastical province.
Its cathedral episcopal see is in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
History[edit]
Established on 3 July 1957, on territory split off from the suppressed Eparchy of Gazireh of the Chaldeans.

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.
