A reply:
"This is again Pyrrosia adnascens - one has to be a bit careful when P.
adnascens is smallish like this - as it then gets a bit hard to distinguish
it from P. lanceolata (and leaf dimorphism is of no taxonomic value between
those two, unlike what you will often read).
Please excuse my comment but I must just mention about these guesses
of non- Indian species that are coming up recently. First Drymoglossum was
long since, and rightly sunk into Pyrrosia over 25 years ago, and more
recently supported by molecular data. Secondly P. niphoboloides is a
Madagascarian species that doesn't occur in Asia at all, and is much less
scaly beneath. Hovenkamp's monograph of Pyrrosia is surely a well known
standard work and the monograph of those species that used to be called
Drymoglossum - and there are no more recent revision problems concerning P.
niphoboloides.
One can see that it is not listed in the three Indian Census-Lists.
It is important to be familiar with Indian ferns prior to hazarding
potential names. Apologies for mentioning it.
Cheers,
Chris."
Thanks. Dr. Chris.
