Refering to the original pix, I have seen similar ferns mainly on Mango trees, Mangifera indica, in Kolkata and all along on way to Kalyani, about 70 kms north of Kolkata. The plants had belt/strap-like leaves that were about 6o cm long and 5 cm wide in older plants. They were mostly growing on moss covered thick branches. I believe they are known as Hart's-tongue Fern, Asplenium scolopendrium (syn. Phyllitis scolopendrium, ), but not sure of ID. Asplenium is a genus of about 700 species of ferns. Here's a link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asplenium.
