Ptisana
Ptisana is a genus in the eusporangiate fern family Marattiaceae, comprising species historically treated in the genus Marattia. The establishment of this genus follows the 2008 work by Andrew G. Murdock, which supported recognition of this group on the basis of genetic analysis and morphology.Ptisana can be distinguished from Marattia by the presence of distinct sutures at the point of leaflet attachment, deeply cut synangia, and the absence of labiate sporangial apertures. The name Ptisana is derived from the Latin word for pearl barley, an allusion to the shape of the synangia.
Ptisana has a palaeotropical distribution, with the westernmost extreme of the range in Ascension Island and extending eastward through tropical Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The basal chromosome number for this genus is 2n=78, whereas the one count for Marattia in the strict sense is 2n=80. The type species is Ptisana salicina.

Victim of a Foolish Heart
by: Bettye SwannYour scars where still showing when I first met you, baby
From all the wrong she had done to you
And I came along and applied a little loving
Slowly but surely I brought u through
Now she's back to recinlde that old flame
She's got a different angle, baby
But she's playing the same old game
Baby, don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
She's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me a victim too
Now I know she come around here everytime I leave
Cos she knows she's still on your mind, on your mind
See, even a wise man jumps in misery somewhere down the line
But only a fool will jump the second time
Our affair is growing stronger every day
Don't let her... steal our happiness away
Don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
She's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me a victim too
Now she's back to recinlde that old flame
She's got a different angle, baby
But she's playing the same old game
Baby, don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
Ooh, she's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me her victim too
Im not gonna let her make
Im not gonna let her um
Im not gonna let her make
Im not gonna let her um
Cant you see what she's doing to you boy?
