History
[edit]The Church of Christ in Japan was founded by American missionaries in 1872. J.C. Presbyterians Hepburn, S. R. Brown and the Reformed J. H. Ballagh were among the founders, in Yokohama. In 1877 the church unified with the Presbyterian Association. By the end of the 19th century membership was 10,500 and there were 72 congregations. In the following fifty years it was among Japan's largest churches. In 1941 the denomination became part of the United Church of Christ in Japan. In 1951, 39 congregations reconstructed themselves as the Church of Christ in Japan.

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.
