Calamus nuelleri, Lawery Vine, Wait-awhile vine fruit40 viewsThese fruit are about 10mm in size with a paper thin scale on the outside which can be peeled away to reveal the 1mm clear jell type flesh which surrounds the hard oval seed on the inside. The fruit has a sweet flavour with a slight tangy lemon flavour followed by a dryness towards the end of the tasting. This fruit is similar to a lychee fruit but only smaller. The fruit is very refreshing to the taste.kowanFeb 17, 2008
wait-awhile fruit.jpg
Calamus nuelleri, Lawery Vine, Wait-awhile vine fruit37 viewsAborigines would also use the Lawyer Cane to climb trees and catch sleeping mammals or snakes in basket ferns. In modern-day lumberjack style, they would wrap the cane around the tree and hop upwards, while keeping the cane stretched tight as a counterbalance.



Other uses for this versatile plant included making traps for fish and mammals, nooses for crocodiles and more recently producing the popular Rattan cane furniture.

wait-awhile fruit with spoon.jpg
Calamus nuelleri, Lawery Vine, Wait-awhile vine30 viewsCommonly known as the 'Wait-a-while palm' or 'Rattan cane', or 'Lawyer Vine' (Calamus nuelleri) This species is found throughout Australia's World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforests. The Lawyer Vine's leaves look like normal palm leaves, but closer inspection reveals sharp thorns covering both sides. Opposite each leaf grow leafless stems, called 'flagella', covered with large thorns.

It is these flagella, or thorny arms, which have the fruit as shown in my photos.
