Synopsis

Explore the Fern World of Sri Lanka with a trusted field guide

This authoritative reference I draws on original manuscripts and established works to map the ferns of Ceylon and how climate and altitude shape their distribution. It’s a practical companion for researchers and nature lovers seeking identification help and habitat context.

This edition compiles species by genus, with notes on where and how each fern grows—from rocky riversides to forest canopies—and the elevations where they flourish. It weaves climate, geography, and plant variety into a usable catalog that supports field work and study alike.
  • Extensive, genus‑by‑genus listings with habitat and altitude cues
  • Historical notes drawn from key botanical texts to aid correct naming
  • Grounded in real locations and elevations for field observation
  • Clear, accessible language suitable for both researchers and enthusiasts
Ideal for readers of botany, field guides, and regional flora who want a reliable reference on Ceylon’s ferns and their diverse habitats.
