Most welcome PK.
Twoton, 4,6,12 are dischidia major and in #4 the green leaves belonged to an ant fern-Lecanopteris sinuosa which was growing together with D.major.

Ohh Lord!  I wish my Dischidia major could look like any of these in the pics! Well... I mean, with so many fat leaves. Mine only has 2, and has had those 2 leaves for almost a year. At least now is producing more regular leaves.
Hey Robert, do you know the name of that Orchid? And, those white, large sticks in the top of the largest Myrmecodia in pic # 3, are those flowers? So huge?
Cheers!!!
JJ...

welcome back JJ,you been away too many moon ;D. The wild orchid was Probably Chelinostele sp. It often grow among ant plants.
Those whittish structure are not flower but leaf stalks of M.tuberosa. The leaves probably have fallen off or nibbled by insects.

Hello Robert! ;D I was missing the Forum.
Thank you for the answers! Now that you say it, it is clearly seen that those white structures are petioles.
Those Plachycentria plants are amazing. It's great to see that they are abundant in the wild. I wish they could be found in cultivatipon, but it is better to see them thriving in the wild and in large quantities.
Cheers,
JJ...

Many thanks for the photos! For an "ant-plants fan" like me that's great to see Myrmecodia and Hydnophytum in situ!  |

Jeff, #10 is D.major. The leaves are yellowish as they are exposed to direct sun and this heath forest was very dry. All photos were taken in kuching division, Sarawak.
