which are the bamboo species having completely solid internodes or having maximum wall thickness?
e.g. in Dendrocalamus stocksii (Syn: Oxytenanthera stocksii), most of the culms are completely solid from bottom up to its tip. the species is endemic to the Sahyadri region (the northern Western Ghats, India)

I Agree Arvind & Syed sir.
Any one have photographs of completely solid culms of Dendrocalamus strictus?
Please share it because I haven't seen fully solid internodes of strictus.
Thank you very much for your reply.
I believe all of the Chusquea genus, from South America, have solid culms. Here is a picture of one, Chusquea quila:
