Gigantochloa felix

Description

A medium-sized bamboo, grown primarily as an ornamental.
Leaf sheath initially pubescent; glabrous in age. Inflorescence on leafless branches. Culm leaves (sheaths) are distinctly mottled in a snakeskin pattern.
This imperfectly understood species is known only from its type gathering. It may represent one of many little-known, cultivated Gigantochloa species of Southern Yunnan, or it may perhaps have become extinct in the wild.
