I made a mistake. The photos are actually at:

http://photos.yahoo.com/shahswim

#1 looks like Brassaia [Shefflera] actinophylla [Araliaceae],
which is Australian but has lots of relatives. Was it cultivated
or wild?

#2 may be Morinda

#3 -- Don't know. A big sedge?

#4 -- don't know.

#5 Staghorn fern, Platycerium sp. [possibly the commonly cultivated P.
bifurcatum.]

#6 Looks like Allamanda cathartica

#7 Erythrina sp.

#8 It's a large coarse species of maidenhair fern, genus Adiantum.
Adiantum trapeziforme rings a bell as being one such, but no doubt
there are others.

#9. Mussaenda? the white bracts look distinctive. Compa
http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plan...hrophylla.html

#10. It's a palm, Johannesteijsmannia sp.

#11. Plumeria rubra [Frangipani]

#12 Myrtaceae of some sort?

#13 Mussaenda sp. [Rubiaceae]
http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b...2/musaenda.htm
[Similar to #9, but pink?]

#14 Bignoniaceae

#15 It's an Asian vine snake [genus Ahaetulla]. e.g., see
http://zoltantakacs.com/zt/pw/sn/s06.shtml
Rear-fanged, arboreal lizard eaters, [but harmless to people], very
similar in appearance and way of life to the tropical American vine
snakes of the genus Oxybelis [a neat case of convergent evolution in
distantly-related snakes]

Hope that helps.
