Schizostachyum
Schizostachyum is a tall or shrub-like tropical genus of bamboo. They are natives mostly of tropical Asia and Papuasia, with a few species in Madagascar and on certain islands in the Pacific. A few have become naturalized in other tropical regions.
The genus name comes from Greek schistos and stachys, referring to the spacing of spikelets.
These are clumping, and sometimes climbing bamboos.
