A reply: "Hello there - not this is not Adiantum capillus-veneris, but belongs to much better species, the higher Himalayan A. venustum agg. I'm having a little difficulty to see if it is A. venustum itself or A. tibeticum as only frond-apices have been photographed - I need to see the whole frond. The fertile frond looks like typical venustum, which has a larger frond with narrower segments and narrower teeth - but I can't really see the teeth easily - and how big the frond it - but I'm pretty well certain it is true A. venustum all the same. The sterile one shows rather wide teeth (does it?), perhaps a bit more like the closely related A. tibeticum, but again I can't see how big the frond is. But perhaps it, too, might be venustum - I'd have to see it more carefully and more in precise focus. Were they both off the very same plant? Best wishes, Chris F.-J."
