Fern for id 080610MK2 – efloraofindia | Google Groups: Please help to id this Pteridophyte, found over marshy rocks closer to a water falls in a dry thorn forest area.
This fern is found growing along with Bryophytes. Sorry for the picture with inadequate details.
Place: Mudumalai wls, Nilgiris, TN Alt: 600 msl
Date: 05 May 2010
width of leaves: 5-6cm Length: ca.20 cm
Then I think these are the leaves of Cyathocline purpurea many times without flower peeople mistake it as fern !! Check out Cheilanthes sps. to me it does not look like cyathocline. It looks like Cheilanthes feei or C. lanosa of Pteradaceae. This seems to be Cheilanthes alabamensis ? May be C rufa also. complete photo of a frond and sori may help in confirmation Cheilanthes mysorensis . |
