Dear Sir, I dont have closer picture of this plant. When I took the picture I didnt know about the identity of the plant but when I came to know, I regretted no taking multiple pictures. The identity was confirmed by two fern experts of the area so I dotn have doubts about the identity. May be next time I visit the area, I would try to take more pics if possible. Regards Pankaj
