This site contains a complete plant profile incl links to photos and a table with "WORLDWIDE ETHNOMEDICAL USES "

For India this publication says:

"In India Polypodium species are abundantly found in hill areas of South Karnataka, hilly part of Uttaranchal and northern region of West Bengal. There is lack of awareness as well as clinical evidences of this plant species for psoriasis condition, hence it is necessary to establish the specific agro technological parameters (conservation, propagation, cultivation, post-harvest handling), phytopharmaceutical technology for isolation of active constituents and formulate the dosage form of polypodium species."
