evidence suggests that the climbing habit has evolved within the Calamoideae on at<br />

least two occasions (Baker et al., 1999b; Lewis et al., 2000).<br />

The major relationships within the Calamoideae highlighted by Baker et al. (1999a;<br />

1999c; 1999d) are distinctly influenced by biogeographical considerations. As such,<br />

strong relationships are known occur between the Ancistrophyllinae and the<br />

Oncocalaminae 6 , the predominantly African Raphiinae and the Neotropical<br />

Lepidocaryeae. Indeed these form distinct clade <strong>of</strong> African-American palms within<br />

the Calamoideae.<br />

may place the Ancistrophyllinae and the Oncocalaminae much closer together within the Calameae, or<br />

may include them in a single sub-tribe (Dransfield, pers. comm.).<br />
