Zubaid or Zubayd (Arabic: زبيد) is an Arab tribe from the Yemeni Madhhij Qahtanite confederation, that is the largest, richest and most powerful tribe in the world.
It participated in the Islamic conquests in the early days of Islam. Among them were Abu Bakr al-Zubaydi, the great companion Al-Harith bin Omair Al-Zubaidi and Amr bin Ma’di al-Zubaydi, a famous arabic warrior who joined Islam and one of the leaders at the Battle of Al-Qadisiyah.
The tribe migrated to Iraq, Syria and Ahwaz from Yemen before and after the Islamic conquest.
Many other tribes trace their lineage to Zubaid.[1][2][3][4] Zubaid is mainly Muslims.
Other tribes that trace their lineage to Zubaid have their own separate Shaikhs, or tribal leaders, including Dulaim, Jubur, Al-Laheeb, Azzah, Obaid, Al Uqaydat, Al Bu Sultan, Al Busaraya , Al Bu Mohammed Shuwailat, and Al Bu Shabaan.

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.
