Daemonorops

Daemonorops was a genus of rattan palms in the family Arecaceae.^[1] Its species are now included within the genus Calamus.^[2]

Calamus draco, syn. Daemonorops draco

Species found primarily in the tropics and subtropics of southeastern Asia with a few species extending into southern China and the Himalayas.^[3][4]

Daemonorops species are dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate individuals.^[5]

Polysaccharides found in some Daemonorops species are known for their medicinal anticoagulant properties.^[6]

Dragon's blood, a red resin used traditionally in medicine, varnish, and dyes, may be obtained from the fruit of Daemonorops species.
