Eremospatha is a genus of climbing flowering plants in the palm family found in tropical Africa. These rattans are uncommon in cultivation and poorly understood by taxonomists;. Closely related to Laccosperma, they are unique in the Calameae tribe by the near complete absence of bracts and bracteoles. The name is from Greek meaning "without a spathe".
