Flora of Lata Jarum during the wet season: a pictorial of a day trip in December 2009

a beautiful fern, a huge one that is...

a beautifully marked leaf of an aroid (yam)

pearly white fungus on a damp trunk

yet another beautifully marked fungus that resembles the lingzhi...

flowering bract of a terrestrial ginger

remains of an uneaten pod of the petai (probably dropped by a monkey)

two delicate buds of a small plant on the damp forest edge, growing in the shades

delicate flowers of a tiny terrestrial ginger

strange looking fungus that react to moisture - they open up like flowers from its spherical fruiting bodies in contact with humidity.

close-up of the same kind of fungus, but a much larger species...

a strange organic flowering form sprouting from the dark and damp forest floor

a jewel orchid at last!

black coral-like fungus on an exposed fallen trunk of a tree

an orange colored flowering bract of a terrestrial ginger

orange jelly-like coral fungus on an exposed rotten tree trunk

beautiful red flowers of a climber on a boulder by the cascades

a large fungus called 'laitier' because it secretes milky sap from its gills

colorful berries in the shades...

What we came to Lata Jarum for...
