Shim P. S., . and Muhammad A. Momen, . (1985) A preliminary report on the growth forms of Calamus caesius and C. trachycoleus in SAFODA;s Sabah Forestry Development Authority Kinabatangan rattan plantation. [Proceedings Paper]

Abstract

Assessment of aerial stem formation from various plots in the Kinabatangan Rattan Projects of the Sabah Forestry Development Authority SAFODA showed that canes doubled in number every year up to the third year for Calamus caesius and to the fourth year for C. trachycoleus despite a severe drought in 1983 that reduced the rate of formation of aerial stems per clump. The decreased rate of cane formation of C. caesius projected after the third year could be due to squashing of the short rhizomes.
