This is a bamboo species encountered in Kokrajhar District, BTAD, Assam, India.
I failed to identify the species. Can anyone help me in this regards?
Please find attached herewith the photograph for you kind perusal.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Thanks Goumi. I know it's a bamboo but I want to know the scientific name of this species.
It is not Phyllostachys. Detailed study shows it belongs to genera Bambusa and the culm sheath has close resemblance to Bambusa vulagris 'vittata".
Thanks a lot. I will surely get back to you with some more details.
May be Phyllostachys pubescens, but need more clear photographs
C'est une espèce appelée communément le Bambou. Il m'est impossible déterminer le nom exact de l'espèce.
Even without seeing the culm sheaths it is clear that this is the green form of Bambusa vulgaris, now a pantropical species, very common in SE Asia. The narrow leaves, slight zigzag of the stout culms and colour reveals the identity. It is generally quite rare along the Himalayan foothills and adjacent plains, but it is surprisingly common in your particular area of Bodoland and the adjacent Tsirang district of Bhutan.
The orange colour of the culm internodes develops with age, and is not always seen in managed clumps around villages in rural areas, because the culms are usually cut for use before they get old. It is seen more in clumps cultivated for ornamental purposes, but the yellow striped culms are more usually planted in gardens instead. There are some photos of this colouration on culms of Bambusa vulgaris on the internet, see www.bambooaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Bambusa-vulgaris-Common-bamboo.jpg and www.jardins-interieurs.com/v3/popup_especes.php?id_espece=43
Hope that helps and best wishes.
