description_en: Genus of 3-6 species of woody, upright, spreading to clump-forming, evergreen, rhizomatous, perennial bamboos, often thicket-forming, found in woodland and along roads or tracks in China, Japan, and Taiwan. They are cultivated for their woody canes, which are erect, cylindrical, simple-branched or some-times 3-branched at each upper node, and to 6m (20ft) high. The mid- or dark green leaves are lance-shaped or oblong, hairless, and somewhat tessellated. Rarely, spikelets of 2 to 8 flowers are borne in terminal, lax panicles. Grow in a woodland or wild garden, or as screening plants; they can be vigorous and invasive, and need room to spread.
