From the Greek "pseudos", meaning false, and the Japanese word "sasa", meaning slight.

Subfamily: Bambusoideae

A genus of 30–35 small to medium sized bamboo, which usually have only one branch at a node. They tend to have rather large leaves, with all except Psuedosasa amabilis, being less than 24 feet tall at maturity. Their super erect culms support an orderly mass of dark green leaves and are less invasive than other runners.

Culture: Requiring light or medium shade, Psuedosasa does well in most soils and requires medium watering.
