GRAMINEAE 



Sasa spec. 



Arundinaria spec. Loesener in Bcih. Bot. Centralbl. xxxvn. 92 "Vielleicht 

 A. japonica Sieb. & Zucc." (1919). 



Shantung: Lau shan, 0. Nebel (ex Loesener, 1. c). 



This Bamboo is said to be common in the valleys and to grow up to 



8 m. tall near the monastery Lanting, but to remain low and scrubby at 

 higher altitudes. 



Arundinaria nitida Mitford in Gard. Chron. ser. 3, xvin. 186, t. 33 

 (1895). — Rendle in Jour. Linn. Soc. xxxvi. 436 (1904). — Camus, Bam- 

 busees, 33, t. 9, fig. A, t. 12, fig. A (1913). — Purpus in Moeller's Deutsch. 

 Gaertn.-Zeit. xxx. 93, fig. (1915). 



Shensi: Tai pei shan, W. Purdom, no. 980, 1910. 



Kansu: No collection, but cultivated as Arundinaria spec. Kansu (ex 

 Purpus, 1. c). 



Distribution: also Szechuan, Hupeh. 



Though this species has been distributed by the firm of Regel and Kes- 

 selring, St. Petersburg, under the designation Arundinaria spec. Kansu, 

 as stated by Purpus (1. c.) and as I found it myself in several gardens, there 

 seems to be no record of any specimens collected in Kansu. It is, however, 

 possible that it really grows in southern Kansu, as it was originally dis- 

 covered by Potanin in northern Szechuan and has also been collected by 

 Purdom in southern Shensi.
