PLANTS OF THE BAMBOO FAMILY GROWING AT ACHNASHIE, ROSENEATH, 
N.B., 29th August 1905, 
1. Thamnocalamus Falconert or Arundinaria Falconeri.—Measured, 
31st October 1904, 20 ft. 34 ins, August 1905—Circumference of a cane 
5 ft. from ground, 2 ins. ; circumference of clump, 5 ft. from ground, 
20 feet. 
There are many plants of this bamboo in Achnashie grounds. The 
measurements are from the oldest and largest clumps. Some of the 
more recent clumps are nearly as fine as the oldest. This species of © 
bamboo flourishes splendidly at Achnashie. 
This bamboo was brought to Parkhill, Forfarshire, by Sir Henry 
Ramsay from Khamaun, North-Western Himalayas. It came to 
Achnashie from Forfarshire in 1871, very small plants in pots. The 
plants were kept in pots for some years, and were taken indoors in 
winter. In 1880 the experiment was made of planting out part of the 
plants from the pots. The plants did well, and the present large clumps 
were planted where they are now in spring 1885. The stalk attains full 
height in its first year. In the second and following years it puts forth 
side leaves and short twigs. 
2. Thamnocalamus spathiflorus or Arundinaria spathiflora.—From 
North-Western Himalayas. Bought and planted in 1900. Growing 
well this year. Height, August 1905, 9 ft.; circumference 5 ft. from 
ground, 6 ft. 
3. Arundinaria nitida.—Bought and planted 1900. Growing well. 
Height, 8 ft. 
4, Arundinaria japonica Metake.—Got from Dr. Watson, Largs, in 
1896. Grows freely. Height, August 1905, 10 ft. 8 ins.; cane circum- 
ference 5 ft. from ground, 1$ ins ; clump circumference 5 ft. from 
ground, 11 ft.
