Nephrolepis sp ?

[Deepak Deshpande]

Date/Time-15 Jan 2022

Location- south -western maharashtra-w. ghat hills

Habitat- Wild. in rocky, open sunny field, near forest.

Plant Habit- Herb- colonies.

Height- 60cm+

I feel it is Nephrolepis sp but doubt it to be N. cordifolia as the sori are very near to margin. Also I could not see any bulbils on its runners.  But also i am doubtful that it is N. exaltata (an introduced species) as this area is near pristine forest.

You are right, of course - and see the hairs beneath along the costa and on the lamina.  

It is N. brownii - that was long confused as "N. multiflora" or "N. hirsutula" in India.  Its range is S., C. and N.E India and S.E. Asia.  See page 45 in IC 3, Indian Pteridophyte Checklist, vol. 3.

Best wishes,

      Chris.
