The World Trade Center (WTC) is a complex of skyscrapers at the corner of the Boulevard du roi Albert II/Koning Albert II-laan and the Boulevard Simon Bolivar/Simon Bolivarlaan in the Northern Quarter central business district of Brussels, Belgium. Its three towers are among the tallest buildings in Belgium.
The complex was originally planned to have eight towers, all around the corner of the Boulevard du roi Albert II and the Boulevard Simon Bolivar. The two of these at the south-eastern corner of the intersection became the Proximus Towers and the two at the north-east the North Galaxy Towers.[1] Of the remaining four, two were built in the 1970s, one was built across the street in the 1980s, and the fourth was never built.[1]
In response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, hundreds of Belgians formed a hand-in-hand human chain around the Trade Center in tribute.

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.
