A reply: "Well yes, I must agree with Prof. Khullar, too - so often we all get sent photos which do not show the things one needs to see, which differ from genus to genus, so one is left struggling to catch the general "look" of the plant, drawing on one's field-experience. Still let us check if my guess at M. zippelii is entirely useless or not - can we have a photo of the sori on the underside, please? I'm perfectly ready to eat my hat if wrong, but to me it looks most likely to be that. In my reasoning was that the wide-fronded Lepisorus (L. scolopendrium group) are not present in South India, nor is Microsorum membranaceum. Thus I think M. zippelii is most probable. But I agree accidental and guess taxonomy are far from ideal! Cheers, Chris F.-J. "
