Calamus moti
Also called Large Lawyer Cane
Calamus moti is a climbing rainforest plant in the palm family Arecaceae endemic to Queensland, Australia. It has a slim flexible stem which does not support the plant, instead it climbs to the forest canopy with the assistance of long tendrils armed with stout recurved hooks.
C. moti is endemic to Queensland, ranging from near Cooktown southwards to around Mackay. It grows in well developed rainforest, reaching peak development when close to water courses, and it can be found at elevations from close to sea level to about 1,300 m (4,300 ft).
