?Dischidia sp., epiphyte

April 2009. From the Philippines, a photo of a plant (?parasitic) attached to the trunk and branches of mangoes; this was found while doing a survey for the Mango pulp weevil. Can anyone help in the identification?

It was not clear what this plant looks like when it is on the tree. But it appears to be an epiphyte (which is not parasitic), perhaps something like Dischidia sp. in the milkweed family. Better to have a photo of it in situ.
