A reply:
"Sorry to say but the picture, pretty as it is, is not close enough so we
could see the lower pinnae and lobes etc.! One has to see these things.
Still I can see it is a Thelypteris with a long-creeping rhizome
and I think there are no reduced pinnae below the main part of the lamina,
as far as I can see (i.e it is not T. unita) . I feel fairly confident it
is T. interrupta, which grows in wet, marshy places, with the rhizome
submerged in the rainy seaon and forms such colonies. If so the sori will
be up around the apices of the pinna-lobes and the pinnae will be lobed
only to half way to the costa, or less.
It is a common species of lowland marshes.
One other thing, people publishing on reserves and parks often just
give the reserve name - which no-one but a handful of people will know
where it is. Also not marked on most maps. Can you tell us what district
and STATE it is in so we can have some idea of what flora would be there?
Cheers,
Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Kathmandu. "
Thanks, Dr. Chris.
