Abstract
Calamus is the largest genus of Palmae (Arecaceae) with about 370 mostly climbing (rattan) species (Uhl & Dransfield 1987). In Java, there are about 16 species (Backer & Bakhuizen van den Brink 1968); one of them, represented by specimens collected in April 1971 byJD during an expedition to Ujung Kulon, WestJava, is still undescribed. It seems important to describe and name this new species, particularly because it appears to have a cane of excellent quality for furniture manufacture and may have some silvicultural potential.
