Abstract
Rattans or canes are a group of trailing or climbing palms with characteristic scalt fruits. They belong to the genus Calamus of the Arecaceae (palmae) family. A few other genera like Daemonorops, Plectocomia, Korthalsia also yield rattans of commercial importance; however, all the rattans in south India belong to the genus Calamus.They comprose more then 50% of the total palm taxa found in India (Basu 1985)and from typical components of the moist forests in the Western Ghats, sub-Himalayan hill, valleys of Eastern and North-eastern India and in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
