Default Help I.D. this tiny plant?

I found this little plant today. It has the smallest leaves I've ever see. Well,duckweed has smaller leaves but the structure of this plant seems far more complex. It has scales/hairs so I thought it may be epipytic.
Thanks for your help.

Looks like one of the epiphyte begonias to me. Neat!

What is the host plant? It's hard to tell from your photo but it sort of looks like willow or willow oak.

It's an Oak, but it's too young for me to identify. The leaves are long and skinny.

Pretty sure it's a willow oak- Quercus phellos, I think.

Xav- you're thinking of true willow (genus Salix). This is Willow Oak-an actual oak species, but so-named because its leaves resemble those of a willow tree. True willows do supposedly have a chemical compound that will aid in rooting cuttings.

All tom-foolery aside, do you have any ideas, Brent?
