Constellation Records was an American record label extant from 1963 to 1966. Despite only being in business for a few years, the label was described by the Encyclopedia of Popular Music as "one of the legendary labels of the soul era".[1]
Constellation was founded by Ewart Abner in 1963 after he was forced from Vee-Jay Records. His business partners included artist and repertory man Bunky Sheppard and investor Art Sheridan.[1] The label's most successful artist was Gene Chandler. While it was a prominent releaser of Chicago soul music,[1] it also released many singles from New Orleans-based musicians, as well as music in the genres of rock, pop, gospel, and blues.
Constellation released approximately 70 singles during its time of operation, many of which were re-released on CD by Collectables Records in later decades.

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.
