The Damascus Sanjak (Turkish: Şam Sancağı; Arabic: سنجق دمشق) was a prefecture (sanjak) of the Ottoman Empire, occupying the center of Ottoman Syria, located in modern-day Syria and Lebanon. The city of Damascus was the Sanjak's capital.[1] It was bordered by the Hauran Sanjak to the south, Hama Sanjak to the north, and Beirut Vilayet to the west.
Subdistricts
[edit]- Damascus Sanjak had the following nahiyahs: Damascus, Baalbek, Beqaa, Douma, Hasbaya, Rashaya, Wadi al-Ajam (Qatana) and Zabadani.
Later history
[edit]When dividing Ottoman Syria, the French mandate authorities detached the westernmost part of the sanjak and allocated it to its newly created Greater Lebanon, while the rest remained in the shriveled Syrian state.

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.
