A liana in the Arecaceae, or palm, family, Korthalsia bejaudii is an endemic growing in the forests of Cambodia, noted from Kampong Cham Province.[2][3][1] The species is distinguished by shortened, truncate ocrea that do not disintegrate and possessing flattened spines, crowded near the tip, and leaves that are the same colour either side.[3]
Luxury canes and baskets were manufactured from the stalks, its names in Cambodia include phdau prèah and prèah phdau (phdau='rattan', prèah='sacred', Khmer).
