Myrmecodia brassii, Minggre, Arfak Mountains, Papua Tentative ID. This is likely Myrmecodia brassii based on appearance and altitude. The main alternative candidate is Myrmecodia lamii. Myrmecodia lamii is more terrestrial (growing on the ground, not in trees) but there's photos of exceptions where it looks similar to Myrmecodia brassii. I'll see if I can find an expert to confirm my ID.
