Well i am not so sure about it being any particular genus as i have seen same kind of species (which is still unidentified) during the visits to Darjeeling and surrounding environs(reference here being the higher altitude). Also, to determine the fern species one needs to see the morphology of fronds (ie leaves) as well the sori (reproductive structure), which is not at all clear in the given pictures!
Ofcourse, the resemblance is more closer to the Dryopteris, as given by Naliniji, as it is known as the 'Wood Ferns' which tend to grow on the ground in wooded places. This link gives a little more insight to what we are looking for http://www.rainyside.com/features/plant_gallery/ferns/Dryopteris_wallichiana.html Check this link as well http://www.hear.org/starr/plants/images/species/?q=dryopteris+wallichiana Regards, Sweta On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 8:02 AM, J.M.
