The aim of this study was to describe the abundance of Hyndophytum formicarum and the characteristics of its host in Pulau Telaga Tujuh, Setiu, Terengganu. A transect line of 200 meters were set up across the island and further divided into four plots. The occurrence of H. formicarum individuals were counted in each plot. Host plants were identified, their bark structures and stem diameter were recorded. We also identified and noted other vascular epiphytes that co-occur with H. formicarum. A total of 3,996 individuals of H. formicarum were quantified, while 345 hosts from 15 different species were recorded. Heritiera littoralis is the most frequent host with 91 occurrences in the plots. Fissured bark structures is the most preferred by H. formicarum when 9 out of 15 host species possessed this character. Majority of the host (175 trees) have a DBH size ranging from 10-19.9 cm. Dischidia nummularia was found to be the most frequently co-occurred with H. formicarum with 143 occurrences. This study concludes that H. formicarum is not a host-specific species. However, the high abundance of this species at Pulau Telaga Tujuh should be studied thoroughly considering the increased of habitat alteration in the area.
