Notes

Sometimes this "grass" is not considered as a "real bamboo".

Melocalamus maclellandii (Munro) H.B. Naithani (syn. : Bambusa maclellandii Munro) is possibly Dinochloa macclellandii (Munro) Kurz although D. Ohrnberger does not mention Melocalamus as a synonym, and the specific epithet of Bambusa is spelt with 2 "c" in Ohrnberger's nomenclature.
