North Church (Russian: Северный Зеленчукский храм), is an early 10th-century Alanian church located in Arkhyz (Russian: Архыз), a mountainous region of Karachay-Cherkessia.
History[edit]
North Church served as the Cathedral of the Alanian Empire during the 10th -13th centuries.[citation needed] The church was constructed using sandstone. The plan has the shape of a cross. The length of the church without narthex is 21 meters.
Some of the frescoes of the late 19th century were painted by DM Strukov. Fragments of ancient plaster, already without the paint layer, have been preserved during the restoration of the walls of the church. According to v. a. Kuznetsov North Church was perhaps constructed from 914 to 916 and was dedicated to St. Nicholas the miracle worker. Inside the church are an ancient baptistery, altar, and cemetery near the south wall.

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.
