Is that Gymnopteris?

---

This is Notholaena himalaica Fraser-Jenk. (syn: Gymnopteris vestita), which is well known in the W. Himalaya and further east. It is important to check the literature – especially as in the West Himalaya we have the very well known, Illustrated Ferns of the W. Himalaya, in two volumes by Professor S.P. Khullar (1994, 2000), which readily enables identification of this and most other ferns.
