Photography | Pyrrosia piloselloides, The Dragon Scales
When I strolled into the back yard of my mother's house, I noticed a Durian tree with numerous parasitic plants clinging to its branches. I moved closer to the tree and took a few snapshots of the parasitic plants with my smartphone.
After taking the snapshots, I stepped back to my mother’s house. Upon arriving at the house, I examined pictures of the parasitic plants, unsure of their name. To identify them, I searched online and compared the pictures I had in my hand with images on the internet. After careful comparison, I concluded that the plants were Pyrrosia piloselloides.
Pyrrosia piloselloides or Dragon Scales is a native epiphytic fern in Singapore. As most Pyrrosia species, the fronds are covered in pale star-like hairs. Dragon Scales has dimorphic fronds where the sterile fronds range from oval to circular and narrow linear fertile fronds.Source
