A rapid-spreading, wild bamboo, probably attaining heights of 12 to 15 feet. 

 The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, 5^ to 8 inches long, about the same color on both 

 sides, and entirely glabrous except in being slightly pilose near the base, beneath. 

 Culm sheaths are purplish near the apex, as is also the tip portion of the sheath 

 blade. The shoots appear very early in spring and probably are edible, though 

 small. The culms are used in China for clothes-drying poles.
