My short words
Epiphytic fern & Moss ...
The tree trunk is covered with moss that create an aura of mystery.
Somehow my feeling was changed by the atmosphere when I stood under the tree.
Memo
This species is one of the epiphytic fern on the tree's branch or trunk. The spots on the abaxial surface (underside) of the leaf are Sporangium (spore case). Many sporangia can be found when you see it.
