Ok Lets follow your way Usha mam. Lemmaphyllum carnosum is not reported from HK hence can be discarded. Lemmaphyllum microphyllum and Pyrrosia adnascens are found in Hong Kong. I believe this is Lemmaphyllum microphyllum. Pyrrosia leaves are more thinner, Lemmaphyllum has succulent leaves Thanks and regards Pankaj
