Calamus calospathus

About

Calamus calospathus is a rare species of flowering plant in the palm family found in peninsular Malaysia, where it is referred to as rotan demuk. It is not common in collections, nor has it been found in the wild for several years, leading some to conclude that the species may have become extinct. Under the synonym Calospatha scortechinii, it has been regarded as the sole species in the genus Calospatha. The epithet calospatha is a combination of two Greek words meaning 'beautiful' and 'spathe'.
