APPENDIX 
NOTE ON JAPANESE NOMENCLATURE 
As Japan must, for obvious reasons, during some years to 
come, be the principal source of supply of hardy Bamboos, 
it will be useful to collectors, and especially to nursery 
gardeners who are beginning to import these plants in large 
quantities, to have before them a list of such Japanese names 
as have, up to the present, been identified with their scientific 
or European equivalents. The list is manifestly and neces- 
sarily imperfect, but it is at any rate a first contribution on 
the subject, which future knowledge will supplement and 
perhaps rectify, though I believe that, so far as it goes, it is 
accurate. Where any doubt exists I have indicated it by a 
mark of interrogation. 
BUNGOZASA, syn. GOMAIZASA = PHYLLOSTACHYS KuMAsAcA (Munro), 
BAMBUSA VIMINALIS (French gardens), 
B. RUSCIFOLIA (Siebold). 
GOMADAKE, syn. KURODAKE, q.v. 
HA-cHIKU = PHYLLOSTACHYS HENONIS. 
HORAI-CHIKU, syn. TATBO-CHIKU=PHYLLOSTACHYS AURBA, 
HOreI-CHIKU sent out as BAMBUSA STERILIS by 
Japanese gardeners, apparently the 
same aS PHYLLOSTACHYS AUREFA. 
KAN-CHIKU =BAMBUSA MARMOREA.
