King Faisal Street (Arabic: شارع الملك فيصل) is a main street in central Aleppo, Syria. Located to the northwest of the Saadallah Al-Jabiri Square connecting the Aleppo Public Park with Al-Sabil Park.[1] The street ends up with Shihan Square to the north of the city centre.
History[edit]
King Faisal street was founded in 1919, to connect al-Jamiliyah district at the city centre with al-Sabil park, through the Syriac district. It was named in the honour of Faisal I the king of Syria.
In 1964, the Saint Matilda Melkite Greek church was opened on the street. Later in 1994, Al-Rahman mosque was built on the street, adjacent to al-Sabil park.
The street served as a highway until 2008 when the separating green row of trees was removed and the street was turned to a single-way avenue.

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.
