Hammam Ben Abbad[1] or Hammam Ibn Abbad[2] is a historic hammam (bathhouse) in the medina (old city) of Fes, Morocco. It is located in the Kettanin neighbourhood south of the Zawiya of Moulay Idris, near the Funduq Kettanin.[3] The hammam dates from the 14th century and was recently restored during a major rehabilitation program involving over two dozen other historic monuments in the city.[1][4] Its name comes from a local Muslim saint who is associated with the building,[5] and the waters of the hammam were believed to have healing properties.[3] Entered from the north, the hammam has the usual series of rooms inherited from the Roman bathhouse model: an undressing room (equivalent to an apodyterium), a cold room (frigidarium), warm room (tepidarium), and a hot room (calderium).[6][2] The hammam was part of the habous (endowment) of the Qarawiyyin Mosque.[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.
