The Four Seasons Hotel and Tower, also known as the Four Seasons Hotel Miami, is a 70-story, 781 feet (238 m) skyscraper in Miami, Florida. Located in downtown Miami's Brickell Financial District, it is the third tallest building in Miami[3] as well as in Florida.[4][5] The tower contains a Four Seasons Hotel property, office space and several residential condominium units on the upper floors.
The building was planned by Gary Edward Handel & Associates and Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc.[1] Post-tensioning reinforcement of the structure was supplied and engineered by Suncoast Post-Tension. The building was constructed with dense steel reinforcing and silica-fume concrete, and is designed to sustain hurricane-force winds.[5] Construction began in 2000, and the building was completed in 2003.[3] The Four Seasons held the title of the tallest building in Miami and Florida until the Panorama Tower surpassed it in 2017.

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.
