Germination characteristics of seeds of Calamus peregrinus were found to be superior to that recorded elsewhere for seeds of many other species of rattan. Experiments showed that a greater percentage of seeds with the sarcotesta removed germinated compared with those having the sarcostesta intact. The time required for germination was also shorter for seeds without the sarcotesta. Moisture content directly affected the rate of germination; germination was higher for seeds placed in saturated chambers than those sown in the nursery.
