"Crime of the century" is an idiomatic phrase used to describe particularly sensational or notorious criminal cases.[1] In the United States, it is often—though not exclusively—used in reference to the Lindbergh kidnapping. However, the phrase was in popular use much earlier in the 19th century and has been used repeatedly ever since.[1][2]
Other criminal cases that have also been described as "the crime of the century" include the Leopold and Loeb case,[3] the murder of Patrick Henry Cronin,[2] and the Richard Speck case.[4]

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.
