Bird's Nest Fern, Amber Mountain, Madagascar

In Amber Mountain, the forest is full of these giant nest-like plants. The common name "Bird's Nest Fern" is confusing as it is used for the genus as well as multiple species. I assume that this is the Asplenium nidus species, which is documented to occur in Madagascar.
