Arundinaria prainii At high altitudes, some species are herbaceous Ex. Buergersiochloaspp. Scandent climbers Ex. Chusquea abutifolia GLOBAL BAMBOO SUBMIT, INDORE 2016
14 MORPHOLOGY CULMS
15 Culms are woody pointed stems Arise from underground rhizomes Generally clustered Generally, culms are devoid of branches for considerable height above base Height ranges from 2-6 m. in Ochlandra travancorica to 30m. in Bambusa bambos Diameter varies from 2.5 cms. in O.travancorica to 18 cms. in D. hamiltonii GLOBAL BAMBOO SUBMIT, INDORE 2016
16 Wall thickness Thick walls Ex. Dendrocalamus strictus Thin walls Ex. Melocanna bambusoides Contd. Hollowness Solid culms (Male baboos) Hollow, round, smooth culms with transverse septa at the nodes (Female bamboos) Clump formation habit Clump forming bamboos with sympodial (pachymorph) rhizomes Ex.
