Pls Look in the local flora The plant in the attached photo is …………………….. Aeschynanthus radicans [Common name: Lipstick plant] is an epiphyte that grows in the angles of branches in the rain forest. As with all epiphytes, the lipstick plant does not live as a parasite on the tree, but takes its nourishment from fallen leaves and twigs that accumulate in the crevices of branches. It is native to the Malaysian peninsula. It is also a common garden and indoor plant used for decoration due its vibrant flower colour and glossy leaf . In the first image, there we can see one orchid, may be Symbidium sps on the tree, on the land, a Pteridophyte – Angiopteris or Marattia sps, A. sikkimensis if there is no other species
I think its Aeschynanthus micranthus. A. sikkimensis looks a bit different. Sending you pictures of both. See which one matches your picture best There is one unidentified orchid on the last pic also. Upper most has a Cymbidium species along with one long leafed fern. .
