The Putra Mosque (Malay: Masjid Putra; Jawi: مسجد ڤوترا) is the principal mosque of Putrajaya, Malaysia. Construction of the mosque began in 1997 and was completed two years later.
It is located on Putra Square and is adjacent to man-made Putrajaya Lake.
The pink-domed Putra Mosque is constructed with rose-tinted granite and consists of three main functional areas – the prayer hall, the Sahn, or courtyard, and various learning facilities and function rooms. The mosque can accommodate 15,000 worshippers at any one time.[1]
On 25 June 1999, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad went to Putra Mosque for prayers.[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.
