150 COLONEL MUNRO'S MONOGRAPH OF THE BAMBUSACE^E. 



The leaves at t ached to Lobb's specimens are very different from the mature ones attached to 

 A\ illich's 5029, but they may possibly be young leaves from a young shoot.

This has smaller spiculae than any species of the genus. It is very similar in many 

 respects to Bambusa Brandisii, but has much smaller and less densely flowered verticils, 

 and there are never the least traces of squamulse. I have but little doubt that B. bitting 

 of Schultes will prove to be the same species.
