Well, I have seen this thread earlier, but the booklet (on ngrasses and Bambusa) I have doesn't feature this species.

Thank you

Dear Sawmliana Ji,

Here is a species list distributed in your region - http://www.bambootech.org/subsubTOP.asp?subsubid=105&subid=37&sname=STATE

I think you have two probabilities 1) Schizostachyum polymorphum and 2) Melocanna baccifera.(note FoC description and illustration of http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=250071023)

"White powdery ring below node" in your plate is a character of  Pseudostachyum polymorphum. Two links of images from the genus -

• http://gardenergardens.com/bamboo-plant-yellow/
  
• https://sites.google.com/site/bamboosthailand/home/-1-native-species/schizostachyum-zollingeri
  

Please tell us what do you think of your species might be.

Thank you

Thank you so much Sawmliana Ji for the feedback.

Yes, I was wrong assuming it to be Schizostachyum polymorphum. It is not. I further missed your state, correct link would be http://www.bambootech.org/subsubTOP.asp?subsubid=103&subid=37&sname=STATE. 

So, you have zeroed in to two species -1) Schizostachyum manii and 2) Bambusa khasiana.

I am not sure if Schizostachyum manii is a synonym of Racemobamboos mannii (nothing found on this taxon).

However, your Govt. website does list the taxon http://forest.mizoram.gov.in/page/bamboo-resources-in-mizoram.html.

But, the taxon is "wrongly assigned" & should be a Bambusa sp. as per the 'paper' - http://docs.kfri.res.in/KFRI-RR/KFRI-RR330.pdf.

Even, if it is the same taxon of FoC's Phyllostachys mannii your species is not likely the same.

We do not have much on Bambusa khasiana except the attached FBI description, KEW description and illustration. The ID seems to me to be possible. Can you please share some daylight photographs of new shoots and nodes of mature culm....

Thank you

Sir, Thank you so much sir surat koley ji for good information and attaching herewith another shoot, etc. (M.Sawmliana)

[surajit koley]

Well, Swamliana Ji, what I wanted to see I do not find in the attached pictures -

1. a bluish ring above the node (I can see the whitish ring below the node though)
2. head (apex) of the new shoot looks different than the illustration in Gamble (what i noted in earlier plate too)

I checked probability of Gigantochloa as suggested by Pudji Ji, you have one species there G. albociliata, (host http://www.bioversityinternational.org/fileadmin/bioversity/publications/Web_version/572/ch17.htm) but it looks different (more pics - http://www.bambooweb.info/ShowBambooPictures2.php?BooID=190&Desc=&Loc=&Match=190&Cat=*&Genus=*&s=4).

FBI has two species, from the region, with stem sheath featuring very long or narrow blade - B. pallida and B. khasiana. The foermer one is like B. tulda I have uploaded recently. I can only hope your ID is correct.

Thank you

Regards
