Mulu

This one is a peculiar plant that I saw in Mulu.


See the way it curls up? And how all the leaves stick outwards? Notice that the leaves form a loop and the lower part of the stem where the leaves above could block out the sun simply lacked leaves? The leaves can receive the maximum amount of sunlight without blocking the other leaves, and it would have less force of gravity to deal with.
