Could this be Ophioglossum vulgatum?
Just for info to others, Ophio means snake and glossum means tongue,
pointing towards the sporophyte which looks like snake's tongue.

That's very nice, and lovely photos too.  I was just thinking I'm not going to be able to identify it as I must see the rhizome and rhizoids, but there you have a good photo of that too. 

It is a smallish O. costatum, with its globose (often deep bowl shaped) corm and many thin roots arising from it.  The specimen with the slightly taller, longer sterile leaves is more typical, but the shorter rounder leaves also occur in smaller plants.

Best wishes,

      Chris Fraser Jenkins.

PS I had assumed it was all one species, but your photo 8988 looks a lot more like O. petiolatum, while 8986 might even be O. gomezianum, which is common enough in C., W. and S. India.

But we'd have to see good, clear photos of the rhizomes connected to the leaves.  O. petiolatum does not have a globose or subglobose rhizome, while O. gomezianum is subglobose.  Neither has the thin rhizoids of O. costatum, but they have fewer slightly thicker rhizoids, which can reproduce plants through adventitious root buds.

Mixed populations of more than one species occur quite commonly.

The O. costatum is definite; the other possible two don't have rhizome and root information so not really identifiable.  Do you remember if the one that looks like petiolatum has elongated rhizomes, not the round ones?

Best,
