Town in ancient Paphlagonia
Carussa or Karoussa (Ancient Greek: Κάρουσσα), also spelt as Carusa or Karousa (Καροῦσα), also known as Polichnion,[1] was a Greek trading place (emporium) on the Black Sea coast of ancient Paphlagonia, south of Sinope, and 150 stadia from it.[2][3] It is also mentioned in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax as a Greek city; and by Pliny the Elder.[4] It was a member of the Delian League as it appears in tribute lists of ancient Athens.[5]
It is located near Gerze in Asiatic Turkey.[1][6]

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.
