| Notes: | Label source: Letter 208, 1912 vii p 150. Culm about 150 ft long, cut into sections which are numbered to allow of the culm being put together again. I have some botanical specimens of this bamboo, collected last March which I hope to be able to send, you later. The late Sir Dietrich Brandis would not believe that the culm of this species of bamboo grew annually and did not attain its full length in one year. It the leading shoot does not itself grow on, a shoot develops near it on the stem and grows, several feet in a year, often 30 or 40, to the same thickness as the old culm. Next year the same thing happens. The consequence of this habit of growth is that culms of extraordinary length - not all formed in 12 months - can be obtained. One of thes, e I am sending you. The bamboo has no economic importance at present.
