Crème chiboust is a crème pâtissière (pastry cream) lightened with meringue. Though occasionally using whipped cream to lighten it, this is traditionally a millefeuille cream.
Crème chiboust can be flavoured with vanilla, orange zest, or liqueurs.
It was supposedly created and developed in 1847 by the pastry chef M. Chiboust of the pastry shop that was located on the Paris street Rue Saint-Honoré.[1]
If gelatin is softened and incorporated to the chiboust or plombieres, it can be used as a Bavarian cream. The chiboust or the plombieres can also double as soufflé filling, as long as egg whites are the base; the mix will "puff up" and provide a creamy soufflé.

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.
