Kosmopoliet I (800 tons) is said to have been one of the first Dutch clippers.
Kosmopoliet I[edit]
She was launched on 29 November, 1854 by the shipyard of Cornelis Gips and Sons in Dordrecht, The Netherlands, for the account of the shipping company of Gebr. Blussé (Dordrecht), inspired by a model of a medium-clipper presented in 1852 at an exhibition in Amsterdam by the Dutch lieutenant-commander M.H. Jansen.
The Kosmopoliet carried both cargo and passengers. She was full-rigged and carried royals and skysails on all three masts.
Though a voyage from the Netherlands to Java (port to port) normally took a 100 days or more, the Kosmopoliet completed her maiden voyage in 89 days. Later she did the passage in 76, 74 and 77 days.
Kosmopoliet II and Kosmopoliet III[edit]
In 1865 the Kosmopoliet II (1200 tons) was launched, followed by Kosmopoliet III in 1871, which measured 1548 tons.

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.
