Abstract

The paper presents an account of a rare fern Dryopteris gamblei (Hope) C. Chr. (Dryopteridaceae) re-reported from Garhwal Hills after a gap of 121 years (Gamble and Mackinnon, 1881, vide Hope). Previously it was reported from Tehri Garhwal and Jaunsar, the West Garhwal but during recent exploration of Garhwal Himalayas it is been collected from Chamoli and Rudraprayag Districts, the Eastern Garhwal.
