The Smith Bamboo Grove at Burroughs, near Savannah, Ga. (Phyllostachys sp.; 



S. P. I. No. 40842). 



A grove of an undetermined species of bamboo which is certainly distinct from either 

 P. bambusoides (P. quilioi) or P. pubescens (P. mitis), and which is reported by Mr. 

 S. B. Dayton, who directed our attention to this grove, to have been introduced from 

 India by Mr. Andre Moynelo about 30 years ago. The tallest culms were in 1915 about 

 55 feet high and 143 inches in circumference, and the grove covers an area of about an 

 acre. The young shoots of this bamboo have been cooked as a vegetable and found to 

 have an excellent flavor and texture. The late Allen Groves is standing among the 

 trees. (Photographed by Mr. Peter Bisset, Burroughs Station, Ga., July 28, 1915 ;
