 28,1925. Manchnk, Mansunchuk. Thesprouts

No. 141. Ooshek. April 28, 1925. Man 

 chuk. 



66902. Phyllostachys sp. 



No. 150. Obtained from the wild on Beggar 

 Mountain, Lohkongtung, May 24, 1925. Ka 

 fat to chuk. This is a small bamboo, 2 to 3 

 meters high, and spreading by means of rhi- 

 zomes. The young sprouts, which come in 

 March and April, are considered by the local 

 people to be very excellent, as it is not necessary 

 to subject them to the parboiling and soaking 

 process required by so many of the rhizome 

 bamboos. Now and then a cane is said to 

 appear with swollen nodes and shortened inter- 

 nodes, a characteristic doubtless responsible for 

 the name given to this bamboo, which may 

 prove to be the same as No. 110 [No. 63872]. 

 Such canes are much sought after by the village 

 people for pipestems.
