Lanthanum oxysulfide is an inorganic compound, a salt of lanthanum and hydrogen sulfide acid, with the formula La
2O
2S.[2][3]
Synthesis
[edit]- La2(SO4)3 + O2 → La2O3·SO3 + 2SO3
- The resulting product is reduced with hydrogen when heated:
- La2O3·SO3 + 4H2 → La2O2S + 4H2O
Physical properties
[edit]The compound forms yellowish-white hexagonal crystals.
Uses
[edit]The compound is used as a laser host material.[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.
