Patron
[edit]Prince Qanibay al-Muhammadi was bought by Sultan Al-Zaher Barqouq from a merchant named Muhammad, hence he obtained the nisbah of "al-Muhammadi". Qanibay served the Sultan Barqouq and then the service of Shaykh al-Mahmudi, deputy of Damascus, and was appointed as a great Dawudara during the Sultanate of Prince Faraj bin Barqouq. Dawudara is the title for one of the most important officials of the construction bureau, which was in charge of the correspondence of the official authorities and preparing the letters sent by the Sultan to various kings and princes. Then he was appointed as a deputy of Damascus during the reign of Sultan Shaykh al-Mahmudi, but was killed among other princes who rebelled against the Sultan. He was later buried in Damascus.[2]

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.
