Hi

during my birding trip to Lava (near Darjeeling) in December 2009, i found that ferns of different types grow in abundance over there. The high humidity, low temperature and mist-shrouded hills perhaps encourage the growth of these pteridophytes.

Sharing one shot of a fern from Lava.

Friends, I accidentally got onto a site, link given below to identify
the fern above, and am just lost. It will take me a long time to
identify the fern in the picture but I thought I should share this
link. Probably a lot of people amongst us would have gone through it,
I am clean bowled.

As I understand , there have three types - Dicranopteris linearis , Dicranopteris sp. and Pteridium or allied genus
