(040509SCS1-2) Nephrolepis or Blecnum fern, Sonepat, Haryana ?

[Suresh C. Sharma]

While flora-watching on 2nd May 09, I cam across this fern like plant growing under a culvert

of a canal. My ID narrows down to  Nephrolepsis or Blechnum.

 

Experts may please confirm or correct me.

 

Sonepat, Haryana, 2nd May 09.

 

Kind regards,

Suresh C Sharma

It looks like  Blechnum minor (Small Water Fern).

Suresh

the name Nephrolepis has come with kidney shape sorii. hence we have to see the backside rather ventralside of the leaf.
Nephrolepis has an auricle at the base ot the leaflet on the upper margin, which is not seen in the photoit has wavy margin which also does not match
i donot know about the other fern

"Mathuri ji and Garg ji,
Will forward the images of the backside in a few days.
But, this seems to be quite a common plant around water channels, at least in Haryana.
Kind regs,
Suresh"

Thank you so much.

I dont think this is Blechnum, but cant confirm. Cause I have seen
Blechnum. This is one of the most common fern in the wetlands and we
dont know its name :(
Secondly Nephrolepis means KIDNEY SHAPED SCALES and not SORI !!

[Dr. Pankaj Kumar]

This could be
Thelypteris prolifera (Syn: Goniopteris prolifera)

[Vijayadas D]

Dear all,

   From primary appearance ,I were identified that as Blechnum orientale. But  Dr.Pankajkumar raised doubt .Now I also have strong doubt.

 

I requested to the author of this fern to send fotos of Leaf showing soral arrangement  and close pictures , if possible  a single plant  to show whether it is creeping or erect . I am waiting for his reply.

So that I can  identify this perfectly.

 

 Any way , my identification  is will be in suspension  until that.
