Calamus conjugatus, a slender clustering thicket forming rattan with stems that only reach the height of 4 meters. Furthermore, because this rattan is rarely used by people, its wild populations are generally intact. Calamus conjugatus is thus a useful model species for this research. The study was conducted to discover more information about the pollination biology and pollinator visit of Calamus species of natural forest habitats. The study was at Kubah National Park, Kuching, Sarawak. Throughout the study, flowering mechanisms and floral visitors were observed and recorded. The findings of this study should provide useful information on the relationship between the floral characteristics and the floral visitors. In addition, this study can serve as reference for future studies and knowledge on the pollination biology of C. conjugatus
