Saroj ji fern, colloquially called button fern , i had a basket houseplant about 30 years ago once. but it died in the balcony during a harsh winter. never knew its scientific name. so i was very interested when i saw your case.
your plant is most likely Pyrrosia piloselloides <https://lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/dna/organisms/details/578>which is supposed to have stellate hairs on both types of the fronds, sterile round and fertile oval or longish one you have but, i cant find the hairs in these pictures, may be they are but i cant see them, thats possible my next choice is then <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200004886> *Lemmaphyllum carnosum* . this FoC page though says: i quote: ' *Lemmaphyllum carnosum* is superficially very similar to *Pyrrosia piloselloides* (Linnaeus) M. G. Price. The two are separated by the stellate hairs of the *Pyrrosia*, which are sometimes very sparse. " end quote if so, and if there is possibility of even a few hairs i would go with Pyrrosia pilosellodes <http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=124569&flora_id=2> whose illustration in FoC page in this link is encouraging http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=124569&flora_id=2 rather than FoC illustration of Lemmaphyllum carnosum page at this link <http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=124570&flora_id=2> where fig 1 is Lemmaphyllum carnosum, both sterile and fertile fronds are oblong not *round and oblong* as in Pyrrosia piloselloides. but all this discussion is preliminary unless Pankaj and Chris have seen the case. so we all wait. usha di On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 7:42 PM, Saroj Kasaju <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Members, > > Location: Lantau, Hong Kong > Date: 14 August 2018 > Elevation: 3000 ft. > Habit : Wild > > Thank you. > > Saroj Kasaju > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "efloraofindia" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Usha di =========== -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
