Dischidia platyphylla Size:6-inch Pot A choice plant and differentOne of the many shell leaved species in the genus, Dischidia platyphylla is endemic to the Philippines where it grows strictly as an epiphyte. Notable for the flat, oppositely arranged leaves that create small concave spaces where arboreal ants of the genus Crematogaster (not native to the USA) take up residence. The leaves of this species can get quite large if provided with plenty of height to climb and can reach sizes up to four inches in diameter.
