Dear Aarti,
Still the same, N. cordifolia (or exaltata), but more likely
cordifolia I reckon. The two are related and are generally similar. I'm
npt sure if the tuber charcteralways holds true, but mostly does - sori
will help when it decides to become fertile. No particular reason to think
exaltata really.
I have both growing well now in my tiny garden patch here in Portugal -
luckily there is no Winter frost here.
Best,
Chris.

Adding pictures of the underside of the leaves if it helps.
I could not make out whether it bears tubers, since the plants were tightly
packed in the pot.

Aarti

Chris Ji, Garg Ji,
This I will definitely do.
Will get more details and pictures of the sori beneath the frond and their
shape.
Also whether it bears tubers or not when I visit Nasik next.
Regards,
Aarti

That's the natural form, not a mutation, nor a cultivar, of a Nephrolepis
species - in some ways more handsome than many of the abnormalities.
But to identify Nephrolepis species we do need to see the sori beneath the
frond and their shape - and in this case I also need to know if the long,
wiry "runners" that spread across the soil to make a colony, bear tubers or
not - these are occasional near spherical, pale-brown, slightly white-scaly
bulbils, about 1-2 cm. in diameter.
This could be either the native species, N. cordifolia (with tubers) or the
introduced N. American N. exalatata (no tubers) - but please show the sori
so it can be narrowed down.
I would think from the pinna-shape this is more likely to be N. cordifolia
- a species native to India and Asia and occurring from north to south
there (syn. N. auriculata). It grows in huge quantity in Nepal,
Darjeeling, Sikkkim, Bhutan, Arunachal, Meghjalaya etc. also in the Indian
peninsula. N. cordifolia is a conserved name. The tubers give it the
Nepali name pani amala, and it is sometimes eaten, producing a slightly
bitter watery juice that stops ones mouth drying out while walking long
distances in the hills - not very tasty in my opinion, but I confirm it
does have that effect.
Best, Chris F.-J.

An ornamental fern growing in my home garden in Nasik.
Alka Ji's recent post prompted me to recheck all my ids.
