Genziana liqueur (Italian: liquore di genziana), or simply genziana, is a liqueur typical of several regions of Italy, especially Abruzzo (as well as of parts of France, where it is called liqueur de gentiane[1]), which is produced by distilling a maceration of the roots of the Gentiana (Gentiana lutea).[2]
The name genziana is also used for a digestif, typical of the Abruzzo region of Italy.[3] It is also produced from the roots of the gentian but by steeping them in white wine rather than by any process involving distillation.[4][2]

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.
