Ceratolobus (Greek for horned pod). Palmaceae. tribe Calameae. Low or creeping pinnate palms allied to Calamus, and not as yet common in the American trade. Stems and lf .-stalks spiny but not the lf .-blades: sts. frequently 30 ft. or more long and armed with stout spines an inch long: lvs. pinnate, often as much as 7 ft. long, with numerous alternate or opposite lfts., which are crenate-dentate towards the apex: fls. polygamous-monoecious, in a paniculately branched spadix: fr. drupe-like, 1-seeded.—There are only 3 wild species and 2 species known in horticultural literature, the botanical status of which is doubtful. All the wild species come from Java or Sumatra. For cult., see Calamus to which Ceratolobus is closely related, differing in having rhomboid, not linear lfts. G.C. II. 23:338. C.concolor, Blume.
