A reply: "No, that's Blechnum orientale. The only generally similar Pteris is P. vittata (subsp. vittata in Kamrup), which has more, more crowded and narrower pinnae and only gradually reducing at the base, not suddenly so (and young fronds are not pink, then yellow, as in the Blechnum). When fertile they are easy to distinguish as the Blechnum has sori a bit apart from the costa, not at the edge as in P. vittata - but these photos are only young, small plants so not fertile yet. Cheers, Chris F.-J."
