Wow Jonathan! Thanks for the pictures man. Love them all. The Lecanopteris luzonensis is indeed an odd but unique plant. Love it!

Which part of the ant plant stores ants? The fat little red things? Are those roots or fruits or stems?

Hello PL,
The "red" thingy is actually the leaves and the roots are cover under the leaves... the ant;s colony is actually under the leaves too... this is for Dischidia imbricata...
as for the Lecanopteris sp they live under the rhizome which is the green and black part of the fern...
Regards
Jonathan

Wish I could get my hands on one of those Lecanopteris.
