For me.. It resembles with Dryopteris stewartii
This is very nice Dryopteris stewartii, a triploid apomictic, West Himalayan endemic (To N.W. India and N. Pakistan) which was first discovered by some young, now old chap from Wales near Murree in 1977.
I wish I had it growing in my fern garden here in Portugal, but not much chance of that!
