Abstract

Thelypteris nudata (Roxb.) C.V. Morton and Nephrolepis cordifolia (L.) Trimen belonging to the family Thelypteridaceae and Oleandraceae respectively have been collected recently from the area evidently indicating their possible rarity in Nainital hills due to which they have not been recollected in the past by the earlier workers. This paper attempts to provide relevant information about them along with a brief description, ecology and distribution in India and world.
