Dear Friends,

Going through some old,unidentified photos.

What is the botanical name of this plant ?

In Marathi we call it ' भुईताड’ ( भुई means earth and ताड means Palmyra Palm).Maybe the name is derived from the shape of the leaves which are similar to Palmyra.

Location -Kaas Plateau ( Maharashtra)

Date - September 2009

Regards,

Shobha Chavda

Check for Actiniopteris species ( A. radiata ???). A fern species.

Yes, that's right - common in dry places throughout S. and C. India and reaches the Himalayan region in Nepal. A very delightful little fern. But seems very hard to grow, as it is difficult to get the watering right. I tried several times, but after a couple of years it always dwindled. Yet it happily grows on old castle walls (as at Hyderabad Fort, and many other places), seasonally dry roadside rocks etc.

Still Actiniopteris radiata is one of my favourite ferns.

Best wishes,

Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Portugal.
