Abstract

The present manuscript deals with the reassessment of the fern flora of Triyuginarayan after 10-12 years. A critical treatment of 45 genera, 122 species is done in the present study. A comparison of the families, genera and species occurring in the area during 2012-14 with the prior reports. The study reveals the absence of 48 fern species which were reported earlier by various authors and 11 new species are collected which were not reported earlier.
