S. tunghomii McClure (沙罗单竹) AKA: 沙罗竹, 羅竹, 薄竹, 濕竹, culm 7-12cm tall, 4-7cm in diameter, apical part straight or slightly curved, internodes 40-70cm, culm sheaths brittle, initially adnate with white fine spiny hairs, margins with fine hairs; culm sheath auricles very small, sheath mouths attempting to hairs 40-70cm. culm sheath ligule ca. 1mm, margins denticulate or irregularly fimbriate; culm sheath leaves strongly reflexed, linear-lanceolate ventral surface with brown small spiny hairs, especially near the base of the more densely electric set and long; culm sheaths are also very small, with a few hairs on the surface. margins finely toothed or irregularly fimbriate; culm sheath leaves strongly reflexed, linear-lanceolate, ventrally with brown minute spiny hairs, especially near base densely electrified and long. Leaf blade oblong-lanceolate, 20-28 cm long, 2.5-3.5 cm wide, abaxially puberulent throughout. Shoots July-September. The wall of the culm is very thin, mostly used for splitting gabions to weave bamboo utensils, boat canopies, mats, etc., and also used as raw material for papermaking. Distribution: Guangdong, Guangxi. Cultivated in Yunnan Hu.

Is one of the main bamboo species in the tropical areas of southern China, in Yunnan often form too much area matchmaker bamboo not mixed ounce or single superior community. The bamboo culm wall is thin, between the nodes to catch the material fine, good toughness. It is an excellent box timber and papermaking superior thick tax its shoots for a long time, bamboo shoots tender taste good and a high economic value of the material bamboo shoots and bamboo.

Living environment, distribution range, main value, morphological characters pole erect, up to 12 m tall, 4-10 cm in diam.

Branchlets with 6-9 leaves, proximal part of sheath ± siliceous; auricles inconspicuous, ? hairs numerous, 5-6 mm long, base minutely hispid; ligule ca. 1 mm high, margin shallowly fimbriate; petiole 3-5 mm long; leaf blade oblong-lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, 20-30 cm long, 2.5-4 cm wide, apex acute, base rounded or broadly cuneate, upper surface glabrous except for very sparse white villous hairs at base and near midvein, the rest glabrous, the lower surface white minutely hispid. The lower surface is covered with small white hispid hairs. Pseudospikelets inserted at nodes of leafless flowering branches, terete, white pilose; prophylls oblong-obovate, 5-7 mm, thinly papery, with 2 ridges, the ridges white ciliolate, the apices obtuse, the margins glabrous or subglabrous; bracts 1 to several, oblong, 6-15 mm, papery, multiventicellate, the tips obtusely rounded, mucronate or triangularly cuspidate; spikelets containing 1-2 florets, usually 1 apical one fertile, pregnant spikelet 3 cm long, infertile spikelet 1.8-2.2 cm long; lemma oblong-lanceolate, 15-17 mm long, stiff and brittle, strongly involute, densely white pilose, multi-veined, apically acute, with scabrous awned tip, 1-2 mm long; palea up to 26 mm long, multi-veined, base spirally involute, subglabrous, distally prominently longitudinally furrowed, white-ciliate, apically 2-toothed and cleft ( in pregnant spikelets) or unequally 2-keeled (in infertile spikelets); filaments white, up to 18 mm long (only 2-3 mm long when not protruding), often united in pairs at the base, anthers brownish-yellow, up to 12 mm long; ovary glabrous, up to 9 mm long, shortly stipitate, style pale yellow, up to 15 mm long, stigmas 3, purple, feathery. Fruit not seen. Shoots July-August. The bamboo is a humidity-loving, heat-loving and shade-tolerant species, which is mainly distributed in the lower part of Dawei Mountain below 600m above sea level, and grows most in the soil and water-wet conditions of the gullies and valleys4 as well as on shady slopes, semi-shady slopes or mixed with a certain amount of eunuch trees. The small habitat is characterized by hot and humid and quiet wind, and the soil is fertile, dominated by brown brick-red soil, medium soil and rich in N and K. In this area, Salix monocotyledon grows in the lower part of the mountain. The growth of bamboo in this region is better than that in the two regions of Guangdong and Guangxi, characterized by large individuals, high yield and long bamboo shoots period, which is undoubtedly closely related to the superior habitat conditions. The distribution range is all over the Xijiang River basin in Guangdong and Guangxi. The type was obtained from Gaozhou, Guangdong. The poles are used for breaking gabions to weave bamboo utensils. The bamboo fiber has excellent properties and is a good raw material for papermaking. It can also be planted for ornamental purposes.
