Location: NBNP Garden Date: 01.12.2011 Habitat: Garden Habit: Wood slimber. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Can you send a photograph of the whole plant. Are you confident about the identification of this species? I feel this species something different from Calamus thwaitesii. It is also feels like Calamus pseudotenuis. You please send one fruit photo for confirmation if possible Please note two more points: 1. The edges of leaf show any narrow projections? 2. The tender leaf show yellowish or red tinge? Possibly Calamus nagbettai (not C. thwaietsii nor C. pseudotenuis) References: The Plant List Ver.1.1 WCSP e-monocot India Biodiversity Portal Palms of Southern Asia By Andrew Henderson (2009) |
