Drynaria quercifolia (L.) J. Sm., J. Bot. (Hooker) 3: 398 398 1841. (Syn: Polypodium quercifolium L.);
oak-leaf fern, Oak Leaf Basket Fern; Bashing ‘बाशिंग’ or ‘Ashwakatri’ ‘अश्वकत्री’ in Marathi;
Ornamental Fern for ID : Mumbai : 221011 : AK-2: An ornamental potted plant, cultivated at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai.
Picture taken on the 15th of August,11.
Fern leaves more than a feet long.
Looks like some species of Drynaria to me.
It is found in wild in the Himalaya. WHEN YOU WANT A FERN TO BE IDENTIFIED! KINDLY TAKE THE PICTURE OF THE FERTILE FROND. IN THIS CASE DO YOU HAVE DIMORPHIC FRONDS? It is the common low-altitude species of N.E. to S. India, Drynaria quercifolia. I wish could grow it as splendidly as this fine specimen – but our Winters kill it! Yes I do agree. Here you can just see some of the backing leaves (what are they called, trophophylls, basiphylls or something) down the left hand side of the bowl, but it’s a bit hard to see. For Drynaria it would also help to see the rhizome. I found one more picture of the ornamental fern.
Would this help?
Terms like the fertile frond, etc go above my head as I am not a botanist.
Yes, that certainly helps – very informative picture of the basiphyll, showing the very thick rhizome and scales typical of Drynaria quercifolia (Polypodiaceae).
