Wing seeds of Shoera sps.(Sarawak) in the SBG library. There are more species than you can count.  See my Lambir (Miri, Sarawak) trip report ( Left hand box).

Spindle tree's Bhesa robusta seed. ( a similar one posted before here)

Male cone of a cycad. Firm and not spiky as you would thought.

This one decided to take a further probe horizontally.

'Curl'  from the petal of Pachira aquatica

Pachira aquatica flower. Too high up in the tree (see below)  so inspect a fallen petal instead.

The hairly fiddlehead of a tree fern. 

Other species fern young shoots and fiddlehead 

are delicious dish e.g. baku when fried with balachan. 

The long narrow javelin like petal of Pachira aquatica pierced through a leaf!

Hibiscus - 'twisted' Look.
 Stigma ( 5 style-branch with knobby heads) follow further down
by the stamens ( anther with yellow pollens on filaments)

I once commented all Syzygium sp.'s flower look like this.

With heavy emphasis of Sarawak items - the hornbill carving..

de ja vu - remember the hut in this year Garden Festival?

The column- like greenish leaves - dragon's tongue - Phylodium longipes.
