A one-page encyclopedia article on cane from the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It explains that the name properly belongs to the rattan palms of the genera Calamus and Daemonorops, and describes where they grow, their climbing habit, and how they are harvested. It also covers uses such as basket-work, chair seating, rope and walking-sticks, and the trade in canes and rattans centred on Asian ports.
