The Glasgow Dental Hospital and School is a dental teaching hospital, situated in the Garnethill area of the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland.
History
[edit]The Glasgow Dental School was formed as part of Anderson's College in 1879.[1] It moved to Dalhousie Street in 1903.[1]
The current hospital is a category B listed Art Deco building with its entrance on Renfrew Street, which was designed by Wylie, Wright and Wylie and completed in 1931;[2] in 1928 a football tournament was held between the local teams explicitly to raise funds for its construction, won by Partick Thistle and providing £819 (equivalent to around £50,000 90 years later).[3][4] The Dental School began issuing the Bachelor of Dental Surgery Degree of the University of Glasgow in 1948.[5]
A large extension fronting Sauchiehall Street was completed in the brutalist style by Melville Dundas & Whitson in 1970.[6] The Glasgow Dental Education Centre, which is located adjacent to the Dental School, provides post-graduate and distance dental education.[7]

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.
