Hah. Mountains of North Italy: Alagna, Valsesia (Massalongo !)— Habit 

 almost of Ceplialozia Turncri, but stems much longer, densely packed, and pinnately 

 branched, all the branches being lateral. The leaves of G. Turneri are spinulose at 

 the margin, as in Anthelia pliyllacantlia, but smooth (not echinate) on the surface, 

 and there are no underleaves ; yet it is certainly in these two species that the two 

 genera approach most nearly.
