Calamus trachycoleus
Family: Arecaceae
Cultivation
Grows best on the raised alluvial soils of floodplains that are subject to seasonal flooding such as river levées and foothills, but is unable to withstand stagnant water.

The species grows most profusely on river banks because of the abundant light there - it does not occur in deep peat, and is generally not planted by villagers in such areas in Kalimantan.
