I am wondering if my friend Greenspot can identify this plant I found in Hawaii Beach in Miri. It is the only plant growing by itself. It has a very interesting seed. And its leaves are pretty.
Tacca leontopetaloides (Bako National Park Borneo by Stephen P. Teo)
Pretty plant and a magnificent stem topped or crowned with flowers and pods.
A stem shooting upwards with a crown of little pods and tiny flowers.
Tiny pods and flowers seem to grow out of a long stem shooting up from a base of leaves.
Close up of flowers and pods.
Leaves of the plant.
