Abū ʿAbd Allāh Jaʿfar ibn ʿAlī al-Hādī (Arabic: أبو عبد الله جعفر بن علي الهادي; 226-271 A.H., c. 840 CE – c. 885 CE), also derisively known as al-Kadhdhāb (Arabic: الکَذّاب, lit. 'the Liar') in Twelver Shi'ism, was the third son of the tenth Twelver Shi'a Imam, Ali al-Hadi. He claimed to be an imam and established his own sect of followers, to whom he was known as al-Zakī (Arabic: الزكي, lit. 'the pure one').
Family
[edit]Jafar b. Ali b. Muḥammad was the son of the tenth Imam, Ali al-Hadi and the brother of eleventh Imam Hasan al-Askari. Also, he had one older brother, Muhammad who died before his father's death.[1]
Challenge
[edit]After the death of Ali al-Hadi
[edit]After the death of Ali al-Hadi, Jafar b. Ali claimed Imamate. Twelvers believed that he was immoral.[1][2] Baháʼís believe that he was a truthful person.[3]
In his defense, his followers claimed that his personality had changed from his youth.[2] Jafar b. Ali's followers came to be known as the Ja’fariyya and al-Askari's followers were known as the Twelvers.[1]
After the death of Hasan al-Askari
[edit]After the death of Hasan al-Askari, even though, al-Askari's mother was still alive, Jafar requested his property.[4] He claimed that his brother never had a son.[5]

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.
