Another interesting upload. Thanks … for sharing.
Daemonorops kurziana Hook.f. ex Becc. (Arecaceae) : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) This was photographed by me in August 2002 from Middle Andaman Island, India. This was a common climber in a dense interior hill forest at about 100 m altitude.
The images of the cane shown matches more with Calamus andamanicus. In Daemonorops, the inflorescence is enclosed in a boat shaped bract. Thank you … for the correction. I have no knowledge on palms and … identified the same.
