Abstract

<br> Based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence, we confirmed that some bamboo collections from Guangxi, China, represent a new species of<br> Indosasa<br> . The new species, named<br> I. fimbriligulata<br> , is morphologically similar to<br> I. glabrata<br> but differs by having internodes that are white strigose when young, and hollow without or with a little clastic pith, culm buds triangular, culm leaf sheaths abaxially scattered with tufted brown setae, culm leaf auricles well developed, and culm leaf ligule apex long fimbriate. A detailed description, as well as two color plates of this new species, is also provided.<br>
