The only ones I can think of are a couple of species of Dischidia, 
and perhaps a few ferns where the rhizomes are somewhat overlapping, 
providing a home for ants, though the fronds still stick out. I'd be 
interested in hearing what other plants exhibit this shingle type 
growth habit. There may be a couple of Begonia species, but the 
leaves aren't appressed to the substrate the way theu are in these 
others.
