Hello friends

Saw this fern in a resort in Goa in May 2019.

Is this Nephrolepis biserrata or N. falcata, matches with the images for these 2 species in efi?

Thanks and Regards
Alka Khare

This is a cultivar (i.e. a cultivated abnormality) of the American Nephrolepis exaltata, cv. 'Bostoniensis', the famous Boston fern.  N. falciformis is poften cultivated in gardens in India, but is not native and it is often misidentified as N. falcata, not present in India.
N. biserrata has rather different pinnae and inframarginal sori and is native.
