Rattan palm is a group of fathers (tribus) Calameae who have climbed habitus, especially Calamus, Daemonorops, and Oncocalamus. Calameae own tribe consists of about six hundred members, with the spread in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australasia. To the fathers of the clan may include Salacca (eg barking), Metroxylon (eg thatch / sago), and Pigafetta who did not climb, and have traditionally not classified as a cane.
Rattan stems are usually slender with 2-5cm diameter, long jointed, not hollow, and many are protected by thorns long, hard and sharp. These spines serve as a means of self defense from herbivores, while helping climbing, because the cane is equipped with tendrils. A wicker trunk can reach hundreds of meters long. Rattan canes are cut down and remove the water if it can be used as a way to survive in the wild. Java rhino makes rattan is also known as one of the menu.
Most of the cane comes from forests in Malesia, such as Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi and East Nusa Tenggara. Indonesia supplies 70% of the world's rattan. Rest of the market is filled from Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
Rattan grows fast and relatively easy to harvest and ditransprotasi. This is thought to help preserve the forest, kaerna people prefer wicker rather than wood harvesting.
