Fatima Kabafa'anu (fl. 1704), was a Sultana regent of the Maldives. She was the consort of Sultan Ibrahim Mudzhiruddine of the Maldives (r. 1701–1704), and briefly regent herself during the minority of her son in 1704.
Life
[edit]Her husband was rumored to have died during the trip on his return from his pilgrimage to Mecca. When the rumor reached Malé, Fatima took power with the intent to proclaim herself monarch of the Maldives. During her reign, she banished her rival and brother-in-law, admiral Hussain to Naifaru.
Fatima was, however, defeated by prime minister Mohamed Faamuladeyri Thakurufan, who removed her from the royal palace Eterekoilu and proclaimed himself monarch under the name Sultan Muhammad Imaduddin II.

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.
