A reply:
"Hello,
Sorry I was going up into the Khasi Hills so nearly missed this one.
It's Stenochlanea palustris (Blechnaceae) - though only a few of
its mature pinnae are visible, down the bottom of the photo.
Edible when the leaves are young and red - and known as Ranga
Dhekia in Assam - it just gets as far west as S.E. Nepal in the terai.
It starts off in wet, marshy places and the rhizome can then climb up
and festoon trees - when it produces fertile leaves with narrow
pinna'd, Plagiogyria-like fertile leaves
Cheers,
Chris F.-J.. "
Thanks, Dr. Chris.
