Claude Raffestin (born 15 September 1936 in Paris) is a Swiss geographer. He is professor of human geography at University of Geneva.
Raffestin's work primarily deals with territoriality and relies heavily on Michel Foucault’s work about power.[1] His most influential book Pour une géographie du pouvoir has been translated into Spanish, Italian and (Brazilian) Portuguese.[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.
