Near Phyllostachys Stauntoni, Munro, from which it differs 
in the shorter ligule and shorter fimbria at the mouth of the 
sheath, and in the solitary dense panicles situated at the end of 
short leafy branches.

longe fimbriata ; lamina lineari-oblonga ad apicem acuminatum 
attenuata, 8 poll. longa, vix 1 poll. lata, margine utrinque 
scabridula, subter sparse pilosula, ven: secundarie utrinque 
6-7, venule inconspicue infrequenter et irregulariter transverse 
juncte ; petiolus brevissimus. Inflorescentia aphylla, ramosa, 
effusa; panicule in ramulis ultimis brevibus densius aggregate,

SzEcHUEN: Mount Omei, 8000 ft. (Faber, 1116!). Herb. 
Kew. 
Closely resembles Phyllostachys Veitchiana, mihi, in the 
character of the panicles, but the inflorescence is more diffuse. 
It also ditfers in the texture of the leaves which are thinner and 
papery, the long-fimbriated ligule, and the very short petiole. 
lam unable to describe the florets, as they have been eaten by 
a grub.

teres ad 4 poll. crassus, nodis basalibus subapproximatis ramosus;
