Calamus Rotan, Palmae (Rattan)
Tropical Secondary forest with Rattan is difficult to penetrate. You have to be careful not to be wounded by the thorns of the young green Rattan. It may take 1-2 weeks to recover. It is tough to cut as it hanged across or vertically. Older Rattan are easier to cut but make sure your sword is sharp.
