Northern Luzon to Palawan and Mindanao. A universally planted 

 bamboo at low and medium altitudes throughout the settled areas; the 

 only spiny bamboo in the Philippines. Southern China to the Malay 

 Peninsula and Archipelago to the Moluccas. 



The most common and conspicuous bamboo in the settled areas, but in 

 the Philippines apparently always planted. This indicates its probable 

 prehistoric introduction by the early Malay invaders. The species very 

 rarely flowers and then usually only when clumps have been severely 

 injured by fire or by too extensive cutting.
