0PI 80149 NA 70322F. N. Meyer 310Phyllostachys heteroclada Oliv. Zhejiang Sheng, ChinaNANot Available2000COLLECTED1907Hangzhou, Linping District: Near Tangxi [town] [Originally listed as, "From vicinity of Tangsi, Chehkiang, China."]Cultivated materialReceived as Phyllostachys atrovaginata. Dr. Frederick Meyer (U.S. National Arboretum staff) recieved this plant from David Andrews, Oxon Hill, Md, as PI 80149. Based on the information, this should theoretically be PI 23242, since PI 23243 was identified (according to the annotated PI books) as Phyllostachys dulcis; however, PI 80149 (said to be either PI 23242 or 23243) is identified at another NPGS site as Phyllostachys heteroclada. From Plant Inventory No. 99: "80149. Phyllostachys sp. Poaceae. Bamboo. From Avery Island, La. Plants presented by E. A. McIlhenny, at the request of R. A. Young, Bureau of Plant Industry. Received April 22, 1929. This is said by Mr. McIlhenny in his letter dated November 19, 1929, to be one (which one is not known) of the two Chinese bamboos sent to him under F. P. I. No. 23242 and 23243 from Chico, Calif., April 3, 1914, by the Department of Agriculture. In 1929 one of the tallest culms at Avery Island was 21 feet high. The plants were in poor soil and have grown without attention, according to Mr. McIlhenny. They appear to belong unmistakably to Phyllostachys, though the sheaths of the young shoots are so different as at first to suggest the possibility of some other genus." Then, from Plant Inventory No. 15: "23233 to 23262. From China. Received through Mr. Frank N. Meyer, agricultural explorer, June, 1908, and brought by him from China to the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, Cal. The following plants: [...] 23242. From vicinity of Tangsi, Chehkiang, China. "(No. 310, autumn, 1907.) Vegetable bamboo. An edible bamboo growing on the plains. Chinese name Oo chin tsoh." (Meyer.)" Given the discrepancies, it is not clear that this accession can be directly linked to any PI-numbered prior accession at this time; more research and information is needed, and ID needs to be confirmed. -SBL [Further note: a young shoot examined 5/27/2025 reveals conspicuously ciliate ligule and auricles, pointing to P. heteroclada rather than P. atrovaginata, although the culm sheath seems more purple-striped than purple-tinged to me. I presume the original PI number to be 23242. -SBL]2169004PI 80149 NA 70322

150PI 49505TARS 16485Phyllostachys nigra (Lodd. ex Lindl.) Munro S9ImageNot Available1920DONATED04/17/1920CloneThe black bamboo is one of the important cultivated species in Japan, altough it is smaller than the other timber sorts, seldom growing over 20ft and 1 1/2in in diameter. The culms when young are covered with dark brown to purple spots which spread as it grows older until the whole culm becomes dark brown, almost black, except just below the nodes, where there is an ash-gray line. This dark color at once distinguishes the species from all other Japanese bamboos. This is one of the hardiest forms grown in England and is certainly one of the most decorative kinds. The uses of this species are limited to the manufacture of furniture, numerous household articles, and fancy fishing poles, for all of which these black bamboos are peculiarly fitted.

Chinese name: Mao chu (hairy bamboo). Originally grown by Panda Products Nursery from seed from China obtained by Mr. Cheung. From the 1998 American Bamboo Society newsletter, by Gib Cooper of Panda Products Nursery: "Over the years of our involvement with bamboo (since 1972), we have only worked with a handful of flowering species. Our main contribution was the introduction to the USA of Phyllostachys heterocycla pubescens (Moso) through Panda Products Nursery back in 1982-1984. Our efforts then were responsible for raising about 4,000 seedlings. These seedlings were distributed worldwide through private and non-profit channels." According to Mr. Cooper, different clones of this species tend to flower on a 40- to 70-year cycle.2146075NA 55341

288TARS 16485Black BambooPhyllostachys nigra (Lodd. ex Lindl.) Munro California, United StatesMAYPLANTNot Available1920DONATED04/17/1920CloneThe black bamboo is one of the important cultivated species in Japan, altough it is smaller than the other timber sorts, seldom growing over 20ft and 1 1/2in in diameter. The culms when young are covered with dark brown to purple spots which spread as it grows older until the whole culm becomes dark brown, almost black, except just below the nodes, where there is an ash-gray line. This dark color at once distinguishes the species from all other Japanese bamboos. This is one of the hardiest forms grown in England and is certainly one of the most decorative kinds. The uses of this species are limited to the manufacture of furniture, numerous household articles, and fancy fishing poles, for all of which these black bamboos are peculiarly fitted.
