DB Netze (English: DB Networks) is a brand of the German national rail holding company Deutsche Bahn (DB). It was formed in December 2007 along with DB Schenker, the logistic department, and DB Bahn, the passenger services arm.[1]
The original intent was that DB Netze would coordinate the delivery of infrastructure and operations in order to provide long-term transport systems. As a subsidiary of DB, it was to develop and operate a comprehensive range of transport, energy, data and service networks.[1] In June 2008, however, in light of the planned partial privatisation of services, the DB's management board decided to break out the service providers from the DB Netze brand and only leave it with the infrastructure elements.[2] The service providers are now brigaded within the DB Dienstleistungen business area under the DB brand.
Today DB Netze comprises the following business areas:
- DB Netze Fahrweg
- DB Netze Personenbahnhöfe
- DB Netze Energie
- DB Netze Projektbau
- DB Station&Service AG
DB Station&Service runs about 5,400 stations with 2,400 buildings. It delivers services to passengers, hires station real estate, and markets station stops even for other railway companies.[3] DB Energie procures electricity and diesel for engines and stationary users across the entire DB concern. Its customers also include other companies.[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.
