55713... PHYLLOSTACEYS SP. Bamboo. From China. Collected by F. N. Meyer, 
Bureau of Plant Industry. A hardy bamboo of running type, to 25 feet high. This 
species is easily distinguished from others of similar appearance by the yellow-— 
ish color of the flattened sides of the internodes of culms and branches during 
the first year or two, while the rounded parts are green. Grows to full size 
only in grove form, in an area at least 25 feet across, and after several years, 
Culms useful for plant stakes, fishing poles, etc. This bamboo was for a time 
sent out under the name Phyllostachys nevinii but is now considered to be of 
another, apparently undescribed, species. Its climatic and cultural requirements 
are the same as for P. bambusoides castilloni, Plants furnished in lots of 10 
Or more. For trial in the milder parts of the South, except southern Florida, 
and on the Pacific coast. (Savannah, Ga.) 
‘82047. PHYLLOSTACHYS SP. Bamboo. From China. Originally collected by F. N. 
Meyer, Bureau of Plant Industry. The present plants are grown from material 
received from E. A. McIlhenny, Avery Island, La. A hardy giant bamboo of running 
habit, with dense handsome foliage, ultimately producing culms 40 or more feet 
high. The plant bears certain resemblances to Phyllostachys bambusoides, the 
giant timber bamboo, but differs in being of more rapid growth, having thinner-— 
walled culms, and in several minor respects. Culture the same as for P. 
bambusoides castilloni. For trial in localities in which sub-zero temperatures ate 
not often experienced and soil moisture is adequate. Plants furnished in lots 
of 15 or more. (Savannah, Ga.)
