That's really cool Eggshells:clap::clap:

Quite a bit of variation, even for the same plant. I like that net like pattern on some leaves.

Which island is this?

How big is the leaf span on some of these plants?
 
Wow, the background of the adductums looks like wooded areas with lots of vegetative debris on top of ultramafic rocks with growing moss on it.

Eggshells do you have any soil pH data?

Even when ultramafic rock is present the soil pH in tropical forests is often not elevated.

Soil surveys in Impasug-ong Bukidnon are below pH 7, and significant nickel and chrome deposits are not shown nearby for general mining survey maps I found. But both serpentine and limestone are quarried in this province.
 
The adductums doesn't grow in ultramafic conditions. The anitums and ciliolaire does. several types of adductum. These giant ones are 30 some inches in leafs span.
