Quite
a large genus of vigorous, running species of smaller
bamboo capable of forming dense and broad thickets even
though they may seem slow to establish. Their culms
are cylindrical and curve from their base. Their large
leaves are borne on slender stems with one or a few
branches at each node. In the wild they are found on
uplands often dominating the surrounding vegetation.

positions, as well as shade, tolerating a wide range
of soils. They prefer moderate to regular watering.
Established plants can withstand flooding.
