    Good question & illustration; if could include an overall illustration, and closer illustration of the feature & of feature tops, feature size, if feature seems to be growing _on_ the branch or if feature seems to be growing _into_ the branch, overall tree height & leaf size, and the region, could also be helpful. We encourage you to take the [Tour], and browse through the [Help], to learn more about how the site works! Thank you! Welcome to the site! – M H Aug 18 '20 at 10:36

    A ruler or some measuring tape in the picture not only adds some cool sciency note ;-) – Johannes_B Aug 18 '20 at 13:17

    Epiphytes, including orchids, are common on mango: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=epiphyte+mango&t=ftas&ia=images&iax=images – Wayfaring Stranger Aug 18 '20 at 15:14
  • I wonder if this could be a type of growth called "[witches broom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch's_broom)." Witches broom is not a separate plant, rather it grows directly off of the original tree. It's usually a sign of disease. – csk Aug 18 '20 at 20:05
