Streuselkuchen (German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʁɔʏzl̩ˌkuːxn̩] ; "crumb cake"), also known in English-speaking countries as crumb cake, is a cake made of yeast dough covered with a sweet crumb topping referred to as streusel.[1] The main ingredients for the crumbs are sugar, butter, and flour,[1] which are mixed at a 1:1:2 ratio. The recipe allegedly originated in the region of Silesia,[2][3] and is popular in German, Polish and Ashkenazi Jewish cuisines.
A streuselkuchen is usually a flat cake made on a baking tray and cut into oblong pieces. It should be flat – about 1 inch (25 mm) thick – with crumbs making up about half of its height. The original version uses yeast dough, however a short crust is possible. A puff pastry at the bottom turns it into a prasselkuchen.
Many variants of the cake are prepared with fillings such as fruit (mostly of sour taste, e.g. apples, gooseberries, sour cherries, rhubarb), poppy seeds or creme[4] or using a shortening-based dough.
Barbara's Rhubarb Bar is a novelty song about a rhubarb streuselkuchen.[5]

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.
