Calamus dumetosus, synonym Retispatha dumetosa, is a species of flowering plant in the palm family endemic to Borneo,[1] where it is rare and known as wi tebu bruang (dialectal: wi tebi bagadap) or 'the bear's sugar cane'. The specific epithet dumetosus means 'bushy'.[2] As Retispatha dumetosa it was the only species in the genus Retispatha. While classified with other rattans, it retains only superficial climbing organs; it sprawls and leans but is not a true climber.
