Above are five photographs of Himalayan ferns in the wild. Could it be possible to get a ID of them? I will stick to batches of five, it is proving a bit difficult for me to keep a track of them.

The first one is Adiantum, commonly called Maidenhair Fern. I don't know which one grows in your area, possibly Adiantum venustum. There are a few listed in the database: http://garden.org/plants/searc...

I'm not sure but the second one may be a variety of Dryopteris ("Wood Fern"): http://garden.org/plants/searc...

This is another guess on my part but Fern # 3 might be a variety of Pleopletis: Resurrection Fern (Pleopeltis polypodioides)

Thank you Lin. #1 i knew to be maidenhair fern but the botanical name? I asked around and Resin came with this answer. Adiantum capillus-veneris and you with Adiantum venustum. After looking at both, from the loose/open leaf formation Confused .
#2. One answer Dryopteris second Phegopteris connectilis.
#3. Again Phegopteris connectilis and yours is Pleopletis.
Is this what all the fun is about Ferns, totally confused and at sea, could you check please?
#4 His answer Liverwort, which seems to be correct but again when i open Liverwort, it seems a new chapter has opened.
#5. No answer on that.
Regards,
Masud.
