| History of Viet Nam Red Cross Society | |
The Vietnam Red Cross Society (VNRC; Vietnamese: Hội Chữ thập đỏ Việt Nam), alternatively the Viet Nam Red Cross Society or the Vietnamese Red Cross Society, is a member (National Society) of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies headquartered in Hanoi. The organisation was established during the First Indochina War, and originally had two branches. The Northern branch was established in Hanoi in 1946, and the Southern branch was established by Dr Ho Van Nhut in Saigon in 1951.[1]
The Southern branch functioned separately from the Northern Branch and was officially recognized by the International Committee of the Red Cross,[2] to address the increasing needs for assistance to Vietnamese civilians caught in the conflict between North and South Vietnam during the Indochina War and to those affected by natural disasters. The official name of the organization was Vietnamese Red Cross (VRC), with its headquarters at an avenue in central Saigon named after the organization. The VRC played an important role in the program of aid to the million refugees from North to South Vietnam, following the Geneva Agreement in 1954.

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.
