A reply:
"The amount of information is insufficient! First we are not told if they
are Himalayan (highish? Lowish?) or S. Indian. Secondly the photographer
is not aware that it is the BASE of fern fronds that is needed 9 times out
of 10, not just the ultimate frond-tips, as obviously the base is the most
"developed" or lobed part. Thirdly the picture of the Aleuritopteris has
been taken so obliquely that one cannot get a good idea of how long the
lowest pinnules on the lowest pinna are.
Then there's the feature special to Aleuritopteris that one has to see
the distribution of the scales (and if concolorous or bicolorous)
stipe-base only, to stipe apex, up rachis too, or extending onto the
pinna-costae and costulates beneath.
I can but hazard an unsatisfactory guess: Aleuritopteris probably
bicolor, and obviously Adiantum incisum, presumably subsp. incisum (who
knows which subspecies it is).
Cheers,
Chris F.-J."
