Mahmandar Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الْمَهْمَنْدَار, romanized: Jāmiʿ al-Mahmandār) is one of the oldest mosques in Aleppo, Syria. It is located in the Ancient part of the city, north to the Citadel of Aleppo.
History[edit]
The mosque was built in 1303 by al-Hasan bin Balaban (also known as the son of the mahmandar), one of the high-ranked officers in the city of Aleppo. The word mahmandar itself is derived from the Persian words of mahman meaning the guset and dar meaning the officer. It was built in Mamluk and later in Mongol style. The mosque was severely damaged during the 1822 earthquake.[1]
The mosque was entirely reconstructed in 1946.

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.
