COLONEL MUNRO'S MONOGRAPH OF THE BAMBUSACE^. Ill 



I have seen only the dried leaves of this species when sewn together and in the state 

 so largely used by the Chinese in packing their tea. I now believe that 11. reticulata, 

 var. macrophylla, of Rupr. should he referred to this species instead of to J'bf/llostarbgt 

 bambusoides, as it has been at p. 36 above.

 validis longis fimbriatae, ligula brevi truncata. 



I have already, at p. 96, referred to the flowers which are attached to these leaves in 

 herb. Bentham, and which I have been unable to distinguish from B. bretijlora.

This pretty grass appears to be quite hardy in England, and will doubt l.« soon 



become one of the most popular and commonest of variegated plants in all gardens.
