About

Calamus dumetosus, synonym Retispatha dumetosa, is a species of flowering plant in the palm family endemic to Borneo, where it is rare and known as wi tebu bruang or 'the bear's sugar cane'. The specific epithet dumetosus means 'bushy'. As Retispatha dumetosa it was the only species in the genus Retispatha. While classified with other rattans, it retains only superficial climbing organs; it sprawls and leans but is not a true climber.
