Just like tank forming Bromeliads of the New World and Bird Nest ferns (Asplenium) in our back yard, the leaf-litter plant or (Agrostistachys borneensis) traps fallen leaves and debris at its rosette crown and absorbs the nutrients after their decomposition.

Sometimes i think that the "weeds" in an area are more interesting than the other plants. I find this one fascinating... quite a survival strategy its developed.
Yes its rather unusual - this strategy is rather common in the rainforest epiphytes but no so in terrestrial.
