55713. PHYLLOSTACHYS SP . Stake-and-forage bamboo. From China. A hardy ever- 

 green bamboo of running type, up to 25 feet high, similar in habit and general ap- 

 pearance to preceding (F.P.I. No. 23234) but slightly less hardy and with somewhat 

 less dense foliage. Flattened sides of internodes yellowish. Use of leaves for 

 forage is experimental. This bamboo has been previously sent out under the name 

 Phvllo s tachys nev inii but is now found not to agree with specimens of that species 

 in the Kew Herbarium. The conditions under which plants will be furnished to experi- 

 menters, and the cultural requirements and uses are the same as for F.P.I. No. 23234. 

 For trial on the Pacific Coast, (Chico, Calif,) 



12180 and 24760. PHYLLOSTACHYS RETICULATA (P^ bambusoides) . Giant timber bamboo. 

 Native to milder parts of China and Japan. A hardy evergeen bamboo of running 

 type, up to 70 feet high under favorable conditions. It is injured by temperatures 

 near zero Fahr. Small culms useful for same purposes as those of preceding two 

 species (F.P.I Nos. 23234 and 55713); larger ones, for light construction and numerous 

 other purposes. The conditions for the furnishing of plants and the requirements for 

 culture are similar to those for the preceding two species, but the minimum area 

 required for attainment of maximum growth is about 75 feet across and the time at 

 least 15 years. Available for trial only in the Pacific coast region . (Chico, 

 Calif.)
