Abstract
Tectaria trimenii (Bedd.) C. Chr., which is a critically endangered fern, has been rediscovered in south India. This species was only once collected in India, by Beddome, in 1881. As nobody collected this species there after Beddome, it was thought probably to have become extinct in India. Detailed description and photographs are provided here to help botanists for an easy identification.
