Thailand (South-east), Vietnam (Cochinchina and South Annam) and Cambodia. This subspecies is an Indochinese endemic but the species also occurs in Peninsular Thailand and possibly northern Peninsular Malaysia (Saw L. G., pers. comm. 2000). (Evans, T., Sengdala, K., Thammavong, B., Viengkham, O.V. & Dransfield, J. 2002: A Synopsis of the Rattans (Arecaceae: Calamoideae) of Laos and Neighbouring Parts of Indochina)A

Discussion

  • Dransfield (2000) described populations from Peninsular Thailand as subsp. smitinandiiJ. Dransf. and also gave detailed information about the nominate form. (Evans, T., Sengdala, K., Thammavong, B., Viengkham, O.V. & Dransfield, J. 2002: A Synopsis of the Rattans (Arecaceae: Calamoideae) of Laos and Neighbouring Parts of Indochina)A

Biology And Ecology

  • Evergreen forest. Up to 700 m in Vietnam and 1000 m in Cambodia. (Evans, T., Sengdala, K., Thammavong, B., Viengkham, O.V. & Dransfield, J. 2002: A Synopsis of the Rattans (Arecaceae: Calamoideae) of Laos and Neighbouring Parts of Indochina)A

Conservation

  • Unknown. The population in Peninsular Thailand is probably not threatened. (Evans, T., Sengdala, K., Thammavong, B., Viengkham, O.V. & Dransfield, J. 2002: A Synopsis of the Rattans (Arecaceae: Calamoideae) of Laos and Neighbouring Parts of Indochina)A
