Mohammad Taqi Mirza Hessam os-Saltaneh (Persian: محمدتقیمیرزا حسامالسلطنه; 5 October 1791 – 1853) was a Persian Prince of the Qajar dynasty, son of Fath Ali Shah. He was Governor-General (beglerbegi) of Kermanshah and of Boroujerd.
Life
[edit]Mohammad Taqi Mirza (also written Mohammad Taghi Mirza) was born 5 October 1791 at Tehran as Fath Ali Shah's 7th son by the latter's temporary (sighe) wife Zeynab Khanom, daughter of Ali Mardan Khan Bakhtiari, supreme chief of the Chahar Lang division of the Bakhtiari tribe. Thus, he was one of the shah's twelve senior sons attending the official receptions at court depicted in several portraits. His only full sister was Princess Maryam Khanom (Fath Ali Shah's 5th daughter). In 1818 he commanded the attack on the Castle of Shirvan and his imperial father entitled him Hessam os-Saltaneh (lit. "Saber of the Monarchy"). After his eldest brother Mohammad Ali Mirza, the governor-general of Kermanshah, died from cholera in 1823 Mohammad Taqi Mirza was made 1826-1829 governor of that province. 1831-1834 he was made governor of Boroujerd. At his father's death in 1834 he was with some brothers imprisoned in the Ardabil citadel by the prime minister to avoid any attempts against the succession of the princes' nephew Mohammad Shah Qajar. He was released in 1848 by the next Qajar ruler Nasir al-Din Shah. Mohammad Taqi Mirza was also a poet under the pen name "Shokat".[1][2][3]

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.
