''Calamus'' is a genus of the palm family Arecaceae. These are among several genera known as rattan palms. There are an estimated 400 species in this genus, all native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, and Australia.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Govaerts, R. & Dransfield, J. (2005). World Checklist of Palms: 1-223. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. 〕〔(Flora of China, Vol. 23 Page 135, 省藤属 sheng teng sh, ''Calamus'' Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 1: 325. 1753. )〕 They are mostly leaf-climbers with slender, reedy stems. To aid scrambling some species have evolved hooks on the underside of the midrib, or more commonly by modified pinnae in the form of stout, backward-pointing spines. These stems may grow to lengths of 200 metres. 〔Dictionary of Flowering Plants and Ferns - JC Willis (1960)〕 == Selected species == Species include: *''Calamus adspersus'' *''Calamus aruensis'' Becc. - Bamaga wait-a-while〔 *''Calamus australis'' Mart.- lawyer cane, wait-a-while or hairy mary 〔 *''Calamus caryotoides'' Mart. - fishtail lawyer cane〔 *''Calamus compsostachys'' *''Calamus egregius'' *''Calamus gibbsianus'' *''Calamus moti'' F.M.Bailey〔 *''Calamus muelleri'' H.Wendl. - southern lawyer vine〔 *''Calamus nambariensis'' *''Calamus obovoideus'' *''Calamus radicalis'' H.Wendl. & Drude〔 *''Calamus rotang'' *''Calamus suaveolens'' W.J.Baker & J.
