Abstract
Shrubby or seldom arborescent bamboos. Rhizomes amphipodium. Culms diffuse or occasionally caespitose, erect; internodes short, usually less than 20 cm long, terete or basal internodes a little square, flat on the branching side, with 2 ridges and 3 shallow grooves, nodes on the middle or basal culms with a ring of spine-aerial roots, hollow; culm nodes flat or prominent. Buds 3, subulate, appressed to culms. Branches 3 per node, branch nodes conspicuously prominent, with plate-shaped joints. Culm sheaths deciduous, tardily deciduous, or persistent, papery or leathery, with spots or not abaxially; auricles absent; blades extremely reduced, less than 1 cm long, erect, triangular, or subulate. Leaves 1–3 (5) per branchlet; sheaths pubescent; blades lanceolate, transverse veins conspicuous. Flowering branches branching repeatedly, leafless or with several leaves; flowering branches usually subtended by a set of gradually larger bracts; pseudospikelets solitary or 2–3, usually purple; florets several to many, sessile or terminal pseudospikelets petiolate (internodes); rachilla internodes glabrous or seldom with short pubescence; glumes 1–3, gradually larger; apex of lemma acute, with several ribs; palea 2-keeled, a little longer or shorter than lemma, glabrous; lodicules 3; stamens 3, filaments free, anthers yellow; ovary glabrous, style 1, very short, splitting into 2 plumose stigmas. Caryopses not fully encircled by lemma, pericarp thick, nut-like. New shoots autumn. Flowering and fruiting summer and autumn.
