It is one of the Asplenium nidus group - a very handsome plant. The sori are not in focus, but I think they are all very close together. A. australasicum is commonly cultivated, so is A. mauritiana. They all go under the blanket name for the whole complex, "A. nidus L.", but true A. nidus is confined to near Java in Indonesia and is not normally cultivated. In India there are two close antive species, A. nidoides and A. musifolium - apart from A. phllitidis and one other (with more separate sori and a narrower frond - but frequently mistaken for and mislabelled as A. nidus). But this plant looks too big and glossy for A. nidoides (again not so commonly cultivated), so might be A. australasicum, which is commonly in horticulture.

Best wishes,

Chris F.-J.
