A reply:
"A. nidus is not present in South India, from where it has been widely
misreported in error for A. phyllitidis. But both those species have large,
simple fronds. This plant in your photo has a palmately dissect frond.
*It is actually a member of the P. pellucida group, described from and
probably endemic to South India (?plus Lanka), as P. venusta Kunze. It is
cytologically and slightly morphologically distinct from P. pellucida
itself, neither species has teeth at the margin.
* Best wishes,
Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Kathmandu."
Thanks, Dr. Chris.
