Abstract
All B. ventricosa plants propagated from excised shoot tips displayed loss of the species characteristic bulbous internodes. The plants were obtained by stimulating axillary shoot differentiation, followed by rooting of shoot separates. Cause of the variance has not been attributable to removal of bamboo mosaic virus infection or growth stress. Chimeral tissue seemed to be excluded, since a few regenerants, would have retained the bulbous trait.
