Platycerium foong siqi is a rare and unique species of staghorn fern, characterized by its distinctive, rounded shield fronds that are typically sterile, and its narrow, lance-shaped fertile fronds that produce spores. Native to Malaysia, this epiphytic fern grows on tree trunks and branches, with its shield fronds forming a protective basket around the roots, and its fertile fronds extending outward, giving it a striking, antler-like appearance.
