No. 202. From Rio Colorado, near Mer. 

 ced, Peru, at 3,000 feet altitude, April 16, 1932-

 hut. 



99289. Bambusa multiplex (Lour.) 

 Raeusch. Hedge bamboo. 



From Florida. Plant presented by J. H. Wells, 

 Baldwin. Received May 15, 1929. Numbered 

 in May 1932. 



This distichous, or fern-leaved, variety of the 

 hedge bamboo has slender culms with green stripes 

 of various widths on a yellowish to pinkish ground 

 color and is of dwarf habit, usually not more than 

 5 feet high. However, according to a statement by 

 C. E. Pleas, of Chipley, Fla., from whom Mr. Wells 

 obtained his original plant, the variety shows a 

 strong tendency to revert to the species type, in 

 which the leaves are much larger and fewer on the 

 branchlets, and culms up to 30 feet in height are 

 produced; the foliage then appears similar in form 

 to that of the well-known varieties Alphonse Karri 

 and Argentea striata. The new culms of this dwarf 

 variety usually appear during June and extend their 

 branches and leaves within a few weeks, differing 

 in these respects from the type and from the large- 

 growing varieties of the species.
