GIANT BAMBOOS. 219 
| II .—PERIODICITY IN LENGTH OF 
INTERNODES. 
A number of full grown culms were felled at different 
times and careful measurements made of them. 
In the following table the internodes are numbered from 
below upwards. No. 1 is the lowest which could be 
conveniently measured. Below it were a few short inter- 
nodes obscured by a covering of roots and curving to join 
the rhizome. The lengths are given in millimetres.
