Abstract
Arborescent bamboos. Rhizomes sympodium, culm necks short and thick. Culms caespitose, the top erect; internodes terete, the middle internodes to 45–100 cm long, culm walls thin; sheath nodes prominent; culm nodes flat. Branches several to many, clustered, without dominant branches and thorns. Culm sheaths leathery or cartilaginous, deciduous or tardily deciduous, the apex broad, truncate, dome-like, concave, or seldom rounded; auricles tiny; ligules short; blades reflexed, the base narrowed roundly, 1/4–1/2 as wide as the top of culm sheaths. Leaves a few per branchlet; blades small or moderate, lanceolate or linear lanceolate, papery, transverse veins inconspicuous. Inflorescence iterauctant; pseudospikelets several clustered on nodes, bronze or purple-brown, florets several to many, a little swollen abaxially; rachilla geniculate, short, soft, hollow, disarticulated; glumes 1–2 or more; lemma broadly ovate, apex blunt with a cusp, glabrous; palea as long as or a little longer than lemma, 2-keeled, glabrous or with cilia on keels, apex blunt or truncate; lodicules 3; stamens 6, filaments free, apex of anthers acute; style 1, sometimes short or absent, stigmas 3, seldom 2, plumose. Caryopses ovate, grooved adaxially. Chromosome number 2n = 72. New shoots summer and autumn.
