Fern/ABNOV13 : 8 posts by 5 authors. This fern has a propensity to curl as it ages. Found at the base of trees here, its silvery white side stands out against damp earth/bark. Unidentified fern Dal Lake, Above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, HP 1750m approx. 12 November 2014. it is Cheilanthes sp It's Aleuritopteris formosana - it curls up when the dry season comes. Ah yes, I should add - Aleuritopteris species were all called Cheilanthes previously, but since the big and diverse genus Cheilanthes has been revised since the 1970s and today, Aleuritopteris has generally been upheld Thanks a lot ... for providing correct name for the fern, this is very common and our B.Sc. students often collect this as one of their Herbarium specimens..
