Best not to be confused. This species is extremely well known throughout
the Himalaya, distribution and synonymy is all in Indian Checklist vol. 1.
O. regalis has never been confused with it, a quite different group.
Anyway O. regalis does not occur in India where O. japonica replaces it.
Just look in IC 1 and you will also see them illustrated in our new Jammu &
Kashmir ferns book, Khullar, Kirn and I, releasing in a few weeks, and as
long published by me in 1992, and in Indian Fern J. 2013. Distributions
all well known and many collections cited. Stewart was good, but
prehistoric compared to modern Indian fern data.
All this was sorted out and clarified years ago and there has been no
confusion for decades.
Best,
Chris F.J.

I was surprised to find no postings of this fern from Kashmir but note
O.regalis was posted from the same
location.
Would our fern expert kindly pass his eye over the attached images (my
apologies for not taking any
shots of the undersides of the fronds)? I was not feeling at all well
that day (and had already developed, at that
time an undiagnosed condition - I just thought I was "slowing down due to
getting older).

According to Stewart, Osmunda claytonia known as 'The Interrupted Fern' is
gregarious on forest banks and grassy
hillsides usually above 2400m. Recorded from Hazara, Poonch whilst
abundant in Kashmir.
He considered that Osmunda regalis had only been recorded from Hazara with
no records from Kashmir.
*Rather odd, I have a copy of 'Plants of Gulmarg (Kashmir)' by A Naqshi, G
Singh & K Koul (1984) which lists*
*Osmunda claytonia as common among bushes on Khillenmarg which appears to
support Stewart.*
