Jan Peter Toennies (born 3 May 1930) is a German-American scientist.
Early life and education[edit]
He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 3 May 1930 to German immigrant parents.[1] He is the grandson of sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies.
He graduated from Lower Merion High School, outside of Philadelphia, in 1948. He went on to Amherst College, where he finished with a BA in 1952, and to Brown University, where he received a PhD in chemistry in 1957. During graduate school he was a Fulbright student in Göttingen 1953–1954.[1]

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.
