This was another sample from my Sunday walk. There were only a couple of these by the mountain side and none had the spores beneath it. My sample was half-damaged too. Despite these shortcomings, I guess it matches closely a Pteris excelsa. Please advise.
Pteris excelsa– Please confirm if possible from this incomplete data.

That’s Pteris terminalis– you can see the little teeth toward the segment-apices. (synonym: P. excelsa Gaudich (1829), non Blume (1828)).
