2. A.caudatum – hairy, pinnae green ,hairs pale brown and giving a pale brownish color to whole, pinnules not crescent but almost straight  fold down with sori but length is very short compared to A.lunulatum, stipe is hairy brownish due to hair color short as compared to lamina.

… I got to know from one of my Flickr contacts that this plant is known as maiden hair fern.
Not yet knowing the botanical identity.


The Botanical name is Adiantum lunulatum.


Most probably Adiantum caudatum


Asiantum lunulatum’ is called ‘Rajhans’ ‘राजहंस’ / ‘Hanspadi’ ‘हंसपदी’ in Marathi.
and

‘Asiantum caudatum’ is called ‘Mayurshikha’ ‘मयूर‍‍शिखा’ in Marathi.


This looks like Maidenhair Fern, Genus Adiantum, Family: Pteridaceae (Adiantaceae) , sometimes found between bricks or stones on whole walls. Maybe Adiantum cunninghamii, which shows characteristic inrolled leaf margin containing sori. I have seen this type of fern almost covering an old brick wall, dried up in summer but again producing new green leaves after the advent of the rainy season. The leaf stems are dark, almost black, shiny and brittle.


The ferns of this genus (Adiantum) are called as maiden hair ferns.
The tree Gingo biloba has leaves with shape similar to this fern hence it is called as maiden hair tree but it has nothing to do with this fern.


It is Adiantum caudatum


I am sure on this, A.linulatum and A.cunninghamii are entirely different, It is Adiantum caudatum.
