Namaskar Sir,
Well since our dear old-timer, Linnaeus, reduced sentences to a
binomial I can but follow him and inform you that this is Cyathea gigantea
(or if you prefer to split genera, Alsophila gigantea), a common tree-fern
throughout most of India. Perhaps unfortunately named as though it can
develop a good tall trunk in very luxuriant and long-undisturbed
conditions, it is probably more commonly not so tall, certainly not as tall
as other full-grown species.
The sori are usually in an attractive "inverted V" series underneath
the pinnules and are exindusiate. The stipes are darkish brown and bear
many lanceolate brown scales with very narrow apices.
The generally smaller and slightly less developed plants of peninsular
India were named C. balakrishnanii by the late Dr. Dixit, and this is such
a plant, but C. gigantea varies a bit wherever you get it, and alas, C.
balakrishnanii must go the way of all good synonyms which were incompletely
reseached.
So, NOT for identification - but drat, sorry, I did so anyway!!
Best wishes,
Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Lisbon, Portugal.

Large fern ... (family: Euphorbiaceae)
Dear friends,
Not wanting to ask for species ID!
Will be glad to get some kind of ID to "any broader level" to replace the
too common "fern" in my notes. 😊
