Dear Mr Garg, I am travelling right now but here are a couple of mails from Chris confirming the ID of this fern as Aleuritopteris formosana. I am not sure if the group got these responses.
Thanks and regards. Ashwini "It's Aleuritopteris formosana - it curls up when the dry season comes. Cheers, Chris. Ah yes, I should add - Aleuritopteris species were all called Cheilanthes previously, but since the big and diverse genus Cheilanthes has been revised since the 1970s and today, Aleuritopteris has generally been upheld. Cheers, Chris F.-J." On 19-Nov-2014, at 12:29 pm, J.M.
