I think this should have been Osmunda claytoniana. Its there in
Ghagaria and VoF. Not so uncommon.

It may not be Osmunda. Osmund has branched fronts

Not necessarily.

This is Osmunda claytoniana from Rohtang Pass, Himachal.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Yes Pankaj ji

This is the beauty of our group. One person provides a lead, second one makes a guess, third (here the first) makes further attempt and verifies or corrects the second one.

          Yes it is O. claytoniana with pinnate vegetative fronds with pinnatifid pinnae. O. regalis has bipinnate fronds with subentire to denticulate pinnules.

I think it may be O. claytoniana subsp. vestita (POWO mentions it as a syn. of Osmunda pilosa Wall. ex Grev. & Hook.) as suggested by Chris ji at Osmunda regalis from Kashmir-GSJUN09

Yes, sterile fronds of Osmunda claytoniana subsp. vestita, which is of course not a distinct species (only the wool colour is different from the N. American subsp. claytoniana).  Forget POWO based on Christenhusz' erroneous ideas!  O. pilosa Wall. ex Grev. & Hook. is a synonym of subsp. vestita.   Such folk only know two ranks, genus and species and did not understand the genera and species at all, but it got stuck into POWO.

Incidentally, there is no Osmunda regalis in Kashmir, nor did I suggest so.  O. regalis is an entirely different species not present in India, where it is represented by O. japonica.  Please see in my Annotated Checklist Indian Pteridophytes vol. 1.  That group is nothing to do with O. claytoniana.

Best wishes,

    Chris Fraser Jenkins.
