A Chamber Woman (Danish: Kammerfrue; German: Kammerfrau; Swedish: kammarfru) was a court office in several European courts.
The Chamber Woman was in charge of the wardrobe, cosmetics and other matters concerning the domestic management of the personal chambers of a royal woman. She had about the equivalent task in the household of a royal woman as a personal Lady's maid, and assisted with dressing, undressing and bathing the royal woman.[1] She supervised the chambermaids and the domestic concerns of the court of a royal woman, which was then performed by the servants. She was in rank between the ladies-in-waiting of the nobility and the domestic servants. In Sweden, the kammarfru was normally a woman not from the nobility, but from the wealthy burgher class.[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.
