SubscribeWordless Wednesday: Unknown Plant Growing on Tree Barks
I was on my way to my sister’s house today when I saw this growing on the barks of a tree. Does anyone know the name for this? Is it a kind of fern?
More Wordless Wednesday.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Wishing goodness in all areas of your life.

Nice shot. Can’t help you with the identification. It doesn’t really look a fern to me, but what do I know?

@ Beth, I am clueless as to what it is too.

Hey!
I recall our Pri sch lessons… one plant that resembles this.. called Dragon Scales.
Not sure if it’s the same.

@ Sher, you can still recall our Primary school lessons? I must be getting old. But when you mentioned the name, it did look like Dragon Scales to me; they don’t really look good. I just found them kind of interesting.

I see alot of these plants over here too..growing on tree branches. I am not so sure but I think they are known as “duit-duit” in the Malay language…literally meaning money…I remembered learning about these plants way back in school.

I’m not sure what kind of plant it is. But it is interesting. Great picture for Wordless Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by mine. Happy WW & Thanksgiving.

You are most welcome to the award
…
I am most intrigued by the plant … do the leaves feel slightly rubbery rather like a succulent? I shall have to check my plant books – I wonder if it flowers? Now I shan’t sleep I shall be wondering what on earth that plant is!
by Symphony of Love, on November 26 2008 @ 5:48 pm
@ My Bug Life, yes, it should be quite common in our part of the World. Like Sher, I can recall that we seemed to cover this in the school. I like the name in Malay.
@ Sue, it captured my attention too when I was on my way to my sister’s house yesterday. It does look like ‘Dragon Scales’ as what one of the comments above mentioned.
by Symphony of Love, on November 26 2008 @ 5:52 pm
@ Polly, I did not touch the leaves so I am not sure how the leaves feel like when touched; the leaves did look smooth and shiny. The first thing that came across my mind is that it could be one type of ferns but I am not too sure also. The other thing that I am thinking is if the plant is harming the tree.

Hey BK. Well, the dressing is made the food is ready to go in the oven and I am exhausted. I decided to be ahead of tomorrow by getting it all prepared today. I am ready! I actually put on my Christmas Chipmunks CD today. I sang and baked. Ha…
I have no idea what this plant is? That is strange. The only thing we have growing on trees is moss. It is pretty though. I like anything that is a living plant.
Have a Happy and blessed day.

That does look really cool, I have no idea what it is but it’s a very neat effect, the breaking through of bright green through the bark. Great find. Thanks for visiting today. Have a wonderful holiday.

@ Tammy, seems like you are all ready for thanksgiving. I can almost smell the food from here. I thought I hear someone singing to the Chipmunks songs; so it was you.
You may be right about the plant. I did think it may be moss; at least it looks like the one I saw in the school text book when I was young. Wishing you a Happy and blessed day too.
by Symphony of Love, on November 26 2008 @ 8:23 pm
@ Mrs Bear, it does look neat; interesting in fact. It is like seeing leaves sticking out of the tree barks.

I have no idea what he plant is growing on the tree, but it is an intersting photo.
Thanks for stopping by, earlier

Never seen anything like it, but I don’t think it’s a fern – leaves aren’t right. Certainly an interesting find.

@ Bony and Jams, thanks for dropping by.
@ Stan, I am not too sure too. It could be a moss? At least it looks like one from the text book I saw in the school when I was young.

Totally agree with My Bug Life. It’s call “duit-duit” in Malay language. Which “duit” stands for “money”. It’s kinda look like coins of money aren’t they?

@ Blue, LOL! Ya, it does look a little like coin. At least now I know what it is called in Malay. Duit Duit – Money plant.

those plants look weird but i’ve seen them before:) it’s just not from the angle of the pic you’ve taken. good shot!
by Symphony of Love, on December 3 2008 @ 5:29 pm
@ Marites, I guess it is quite common around this region.
by Lyla Fitri, on January 17 2009 @ 7:32 am
In Indonesia this plant is called “Benalu”. So many Benalu in my place, they usually grow in mango tree, coconut tree etc is so usefull for herbal.

@ Lyla, thank you. Now I know that this plant is called Duit Duit in Malaysia and Benalu in Indonesia. Thank you also for informing us that this plant is useful for herbal purposes.
