I could not make out whether it bears tubers, since the plants were tightly packed in the pot. Regards, Aarti On Sat, Jul 27, 2019 at 10:08 PM Aarti S.

Garg <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 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.
