The Salimiyya Madrasa (Arabic: المَدْرَسَة السَّلِيمِيَّة, romanized: al-Madrasa as-Salīmiyya) is a 16th-century madrasa in Damascus, Syria. It is part of the Sulaymaniyya Takiyya, started under the Ottoman sultan Süleyman I.[1]
The madrasa was built after the rest of the complex, with stones which had been left over. It is possible that the madrasa was ordered by Süleyman himself right before his death in 1566 as it was called the "Sulaymaniyya Madrasa" in some sources upon completion,[2] but over time it became known as the "Salimiyya Madrasa" (after Süleyman's son Selim II).[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.
