Garg" <[email protected]> No it isn't A. pinnata at all - no wild guesses please, let's look at it, and the main literature and try to work it out! Actually you can see that instead of a pinnate-branching, triangular plant-body (as in A. pinnata of any subspecies) the branches are radiating. It is A. filiculoides, which is a common adventive species all over India now and has been present nearly 50 years. I detailed it in the Ferns and Fern-allies of Nepal vol. 1 (but a poor photo) better photos, showing the growth-habit of both species for comparison are in my Taxonomic Revision of 300 Indian Subcontinental Pteridophytes (2008: 511-513), inc. from the IBG, Howrah. Within A. filiculoides there are two closely related subspecies (or species if preferred) subsp. filiculoides, whose origin was from Europe and subsp. cristata, originally the American plant. Nowadays, as A. filiculoides has spread all over the place (to assist rice-cultivation etc., or escaped), both subspecies are also mixed up and both occur in India. They differ in the number of cells in the glochidia in the spore-bearing bodies, and in the number of leaf-hair cells (microscope needed). I can't hazard a guess which subspecies from this, but the one at the Indian Botanic Garden was determined by two expert Profs., Evrard and Van Hove, Louvain, Belgium, as subsp. filiculoides.
