I think you meant is bamboo rattan - No. Bamboo is of the grass family, and rattan is of the palm family. In a nutshell, if it's hollow, it's bamboo; if it's solid it's rattan. Mr. Bong, Mr. Art: the palm family is more closely related to the grasses than trees, Bamboo is a grass, rattan is a vinous relation to the palm, & Koa is a form of Acacia tree. If this was Sesame Street I'd say that Koa is not like the others, but the rest are merely cousins.
