Corsica and Sardinia ; Carinthia ; Silesia. Scarce in Central and South Europe ;

Mongolia and China... 
Duthie’s specimens from Kashmir, No, 18148 especially, and Nos. 13226 
and 14127, are very woolly ; but they do not warrant the rehabilitation of 
Hooker’s W. lanosa, because the specimens on which Hooker founded that 
species are all undoubtedly Gymnogramme Andersoni, Bedd. Duthie’s specimens 
have all distinctly the indusium of Woodsia, and neither the shape nor the 
colour is that of G. Andersoni, to which Baker in his Summary of New Ferns, 
1891, refers W.lanosa. Duthie’s British Garhwal, and one of his Nepal 
specimens are more glabrous than the normal. I have also a glabrous plant, 
got by Duthie in Kumaun, with fronds larger than usual, and elongated 
pinnatifid }inr2e, which may be a new species,
