Tour Eqho (also known as Tour IBM, and Tour Descartes[1]) is an office skyscraper located in La Défense business district situated west of Paris, France.
Built in 1988, the tower, with a height of 130 metres, belongs to the third generation of towers in La Défense.[2] The tower takes the shape of a parallelepiped in which a semi-cylinder would have been extruded on the main façade. Tour Descartes used to host the French headquarters of IBM Corporation until 2010.[3] It now hosts a variety of companies with KPMG taking the most floors.[4]
Bloomberg News reported that the building is nicknamed “the urinal” by real estate brokers because of its distinctive shape.[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.
