Narrative

Scarcely distinguishable, upon first sight, from Phyllostachys pubescens, but upon careful examination, is seen to differ in having, on the average, slightly larger leaves, slightly longer internodes, and a double ridge; culms have thinner walls and rhizomes are rounder in cross section and smaller. Young shoots highly esteemed by the Chinese. Covers large areas in the mountains. Shoots are dried there in great quantities for the market.
