Phlegmariurus gen.
Phlegmariurus is a genus of lycophyte plants in the family Lycopodiaceae.
Sinharaja Forest Reserve is one of the last primary rainforests in Sri Lanka and is a biodiversity hotspot, it was established as a World Biosphere Reserve in 1978, and a World Heritage site in 1988 by UNESCO. More than 60% of the trees are endemic, it's also home to 50% of Sri Lanka's endemic species of animals and 95% of the endemic birds of the country. Surrounded in dense fog, the dangerous, dark and mysterious Sinharaja forest is steeped in deep legend and mystery. The word Sinharaja means lion- (සිංහ/சிங்கம் sinha) king or kingdom (රාජ/ராஜா raja), and a popular folk legend has it that a legendary lion lived in this protected forest. 60% of the forest is contained within the border of Rathnapura District, 20% in the Galle District, and 20% in Kaluthara District. The forest is likely to have formed during the Jurassic era and spans over an area of 360 km², it is the most dense rainforest in Asia with 240,000 plants per hectare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinharaja_...

I had it checked, I also get notifications on comments, so now I turned it all off. Thanks for the help. I don't have a smartphone, I don't like it because they leak personal info without your consent to the tech companies, and it's addictive to a point where people don't know how to have a decent conversation with other people in real life. The laptop I have probably do the same, but I'm able to turn it off and forget internet exists when I want to.
Ah well...Genus level is better than Unidentified :)
Google lens is pretty good I find.
BTW...You can hide your email I think...just go to Settings on your page and tick the box...it will stop others from spamming you.
I think the genus is spot on, the species, I don't know. Not an expert here :) I will ignore all links, he deleted his comments, but I get comments by mail as well, and there I see all the links.
elisjohn64 sent me a lot of unrelated links btw.
Great, thank you SukanyaDatta.
It reminds me of the plaits I used to have when in school!
This one also looks like what my plaits used to be like :
