T. Chairun Nisa Haris, . (1995) Arenga Pinnata Merr. Sugarplam a tropical palm with high economical potentials. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
The sugarpalm belongs to the subfamily Arecoideae and the tribe Caryoteae. The plant was earlier given a number of taxonomic names like Saguerus rumphii Arenga saccharifera labill. but in 1917 Merill through the International Congress of Botany in Vienna officially renamed it as Arenga pinnata. It has approximately 150 local native names in Indonesia which clearly indicated the multiple use by the villages. Distribution of this palm started from West India through South East Asia to West Irian. It is endemic to Malaysia Indonesia and other South East Asian countries. The plant is able to grow on most soil types and at a wide range of altitudes from sea level up to an elevation of 1400 m. Its ecomonic importance and commercial potentiality has been discussed.
