They are actually plants which can be seen at almost most of the Bornean garden. The plants are believed to have the benefits in curing flu, cough, bronchitis, swollen, snake bite and as hair tonic.
The Bornean called it Lidah Jin which meant 'Monster's Tongue', while the English's called it 'Mother's In-Law Tongue'. Why so? The Bornean, they scared of their in laws. That's why they did not dare to name anything of their in laws. However, the English they don't care. According to an Anonymous Source, the name was given due to the nagging attitudes of the in laws. Maybe most of the English’s in laws are the nagging types. I guess the scientific names would sound better.
