 Palm Tree For ID : Lalbagh,Bangalore : 05DEC14 : AK-17 : 12 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (12)
Another short palm seen in Lalbagh on 8/11/14.


palm with thorns like eyelashes and bamboo like leaves
c’ant be anything but Rattan—  and if allowed to grow it would be the giant rattan i think
Plectocomia elongata most likely


To me it seems to be some species of Calamus.


… has a point, calamus moti should be in differential..

so now we wait for an expert


Calamus viminalis Willd.


Yes  … should know his palms

I used to have his book back when his key pages were the best

lay people could follow them easily

Palm for ID :: Thane :: ARKDEC09 : 5 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (7)

Seen this palm in a cultivated garden in Thane, Maharashtra in Dec 2016. Seen such a tree for the first time. It had slender appendages longer than the height of the palm having thorns on it.
I was told it is a palm. Requested to please ID the same.
