Thamnocalamus Spathiflorus
''Thamnocalamus'' is a genus of clumping bamboo in the Poaceae, grass family. These species are found from the Himalayas as well as Madagascar and Southern Africa. ''Thamnocalamus'' is closely related to ''Fargesia.'' The two genera are sometimes regarded as a single genus by some authors. ;Species # ''Thamnocalamus chigar'' (Stapleton) Stapleton - Nepal # ''Thamnocalamus spathiflorus'' (Trin.)

Munro
A Munro (; ) is defined as a mountain in Scotland with a height over , and which is on the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) official list of Munros; there is no explicit topographical prominence requirement. The best known Munro is Ben Nevis (Beinn Nibheis), the highest mountain in the British Isles at 4,411 ft (1,345 m). Munros are named after Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet (1856–1919), who produced the first list of such hills, known as ''Munro's Tables'', in 1891. Also included were what Munro considered lesser peaks, now known as Munro Tops, which are also over 3,000 feet but are lower than the nearby primary mountain. The publication of the original list is usually considered to be the Epoch (reference date), epoch event of modern peak bagging. The list has been the subject of subsequent variation and , the Scottish Mountaineering Club has listed 282 Munros and 226 Munro Tops. "Munro bagging" is the activity of climbing all the listed Munros. , 7,654 people had rep ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drepanostachyum
''Drepanostachyum'' is an Asian genus of medium-sized mountain clumping bamboos in the grass family. They are native to China, Indochina, and the Indian Subcontinent. Taxonomy The differences between this genus and '' Himalayacalamus'' are subtle: ''Drepanostachyum'' species have many equal branches while those of ''Himalayacalamus'' have one dominant branch. ;Species ;Formerly included several species now considered better suited to other genera: '' Ampelocalamus Dendrocalamus Fargesia ''Fargesia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Poaceae, grass family. These bamboos are native primarily to China, with a few species in Vietnam and in the eastern Himalayas. Some species are cultivated as ornamentals, with common names inclu ...

Fargesia Murielae
''Fargesia murielae'', the umbrella bamboo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is a large, clump-forming evergreen bamboo, closely resembling '' Fargesia nitida'' in the same genus, but with yellow canes. Description Considered one of the most beautiful bamboos in cultivation, ''Fargesia murielae'' is native to the mountains of central China, introduced by Ernest Henry Wilson in 1913 and named after his daughter. Its common name "umbrella bamboo" describes the graceful weeping habit of this plant. It grows at elevations of . It usually grows up to , with a diameter of about 0.5 inch, and is hardy to . Its USDA plant hardiness zone is 5 through 9 which is not desirable in climates with high heat and humidity such as southeastern states. The leaves are longer than they are wide, have pointed ends, and are arranged singly along the leaf stem. It quickly forms a dense clump of closely spaced canes that are hard to see under a mass of foliage. The new shoots ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pleioblastus Gramineus
''Pleioblastus'' is an East Asian genus of monopodial bamboos in the grass family Poaceae. They are native to China and Japan, and naturalized in scattered places in Korea, Europe, New Zealand, and the Western Hemisphere. The plant spreads by vigorous underground rhizomes which run along just beneath the soil surface, producing plantlets at the nodes. These can be used to propagate new plants, but if not removed they can become invasive. The species '' Pleioblastus variegatus'' (green and cream stripes), and ''P. viridistriatus'' (green and yellow stripes) have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Genetic research suggests that this genus may properly be part of the genus ''Arundinaria''. ;Species ;formerly included see '' Acidosasa Ampelocalamus Chimonocalamus Drepanostachyum Oligostachyum Pseudosasa Sasaella Sinobambusa Yushania ''Yushania'' is a genus of bamboo in the grass family.

Pseudosasa Hindsii
''Pseudosasa'' is a genus of East Asian bamboo in the grass family. These species are small to medium running plants, usually with one branch at a node. Its name comes from its resemblance to the genus '' Sasa''. The species are native to China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, with a few species sparingly naturalized in various other regions (western Europe, North Africa, North America, New Zealand, etc. ;Species ;formerly included see '' Acidosasa Fargesia Gelidocalamus Indocalamus Oligostachyum Pleioblastus Sasa] Sasaella Sasamorpha Sinobambusa Yushania ''Yushania'' is a genus of bamboo in the grass family.

Himalayacalamus Falconeri
''Himalayacalamus'' is an Asian genus of mountain clumping bamboo in the Poaceae, grass family. Species members are found growing at lower altitudes of the Himalaya in Bhutan, Tibet, India, and Nepal. The genus is often confused with ''Drepanostachyum''. That genus, however, features plants of many equal branches, ''Himalayacalamus'' species have one dominant branch.
