Calamus flagellum is a wild Asian rattan palm, a climbing liana of tropical forests from Assam to southern China and Indo-China, grown mainly for its cane-like stems rather than as a garden plant. It is a climber with a whiplike flagellum armed with hooks, so it needs a tall support and a humid tropical climate.
Calamus flagellum is an Asian species of tropical forest rattan liana in the family Arecaceae, with a native range from Assam to southern China and Indo-China. Its name in Vietnamese is mây song, while the Lepcha of Sikkim call it rim.
