Khasia and Naga Hills at 5,000 and up to 9,500 ft.: collected by Griffith on 
rocks at Myrung, 5,600 ft.; by Hooker in 1850 in woods at Syong, 5,700 ft, and 
Moflong, 6,000 ft.; by С. Исан at Myrung in 1890 under the Khasi пате U-s/oh, апа 
by C. B. Clarke at Shiliong (No. 44651) and at Jakpho, Naga Hills, 9,500 ft., 
(No. 51313) in 1885-86. 
This pretty bamboo much resembles А. Wightiana, and might almost be placed 
under it except for the very marked auricles and bristles of the culm- and leaf-sheaths. 
Mann says it is used for the walling of huts to hold the mud plaster. Munro refers 
to Hookers having described it as possessing spinous stems, but says he has found 
no trace of spines unless the very stiff leaf-cilie were referred to. |
