  • The Good Luck Or Fortune-Inviting Bamboo, Shibataea Kumasaca
    The Good Luck or Fortune-inviting Bamboo Shibataea kumasaca (Steud.) Makino ex Nakai: A discussion of the correct botanical name Chris Stapleton Introduction The article by Karl Bareis in UK Bamboo Society Newsletter No 26 led me to look at the spelling of the species name for this lovely bamboo, and to find out why the local name for Sasa veitchii became tied up in it. I concluded that the Bad Luck Bamboo would be a better name for it, for anyone trying to get the name right. Both spellings kumasasa and kumasaca appear in the literature, and the authorities given for the generic and species names also vary widely. This is a charming dwarf bamboo with rounded leaves, having the appearance of a miniature short-branched Phyllostachys. As an architectural plant it is very useful, spreading slowly into dense low domes that can be clipped to maintain their size. Okamura et al. (1991), in their guide to horticultural bamboos in Japan, report that it is essential for the Yebisu religious festival. Karl has now kindly filled in more details of its history for us. It certainly warrants wider planting, both for its attractive appearance, and for its strong Japanese cultural associations. When it was first referred to in lists of plants grown in Dutch colonies of the East Indies, now Java, nearly all bamboos were still placed in the genus Bambusa. Munro seems to have been the first to realise that such a placement was unsatisfactory, and he transferred it into Phyllostachys (1868). Makino later decided that it deserved a new genus of its own, and he coined the name Shibataea, dedicating it to the Japanese botanist Dr Keitaro Shibata, in recognition of his contributions to the study of Japanese bamboos.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT This study, using the method of direct collection feces, investigated captive giant pandas daily intakes and apparent digestibility coefficients of diet dominantly comprised of Phyllostachys vivax bamboo shoots. The results showed that the captive giant pandas daily ingested ~2818 g (dry mass) of bamboo shoots (corresponding to ~42 kg of fresh bamboo shoots with shells). Based on this daily intake of bamboo shoots, we further analyzed the daily intakes of dietary components, including energy, crude protein, lipids, hemicelluloses, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF). The results demonstrate that: i) the trials bamboo shoot diet provides giant pandas with sufficient and readily digestible, energy and crude protein; ii) the lipid (in low content) was efficiently utilized by giant pandas; and iii) the digestibility of fiber was very low in giant pandas.

  • Hortax Presentation
    HORTAX CULTIVATED PLANT TAXONOMY GROUP Muddles and misapplications: taxonomic difficulties associated with bamboos in cultivation Chris Stapleton bamboo-identification.co.uk formerly: University of Aberdeen Forestry Department Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Presentation roughly as given in 2015, updated a little in 2021. Here I illustrate the problem – multiple names in the UK for the same cultivated plant. Genus, species & cultivar names all varying on displayed and marketed plants. All these are the same species. To decide which name is correct Steve Renvoize & I had to go as far as conserving a species name in the journal Taxon. The genus Pleioblastus is considered appropriate on the grounds of morphology and molecular data. In that genus it is now correctly called Pleioblastus viridistriatus, but you will still see these other names around. Popping in to Tesco’s, I saw a nice little bamboo plant on the stands outside. It had an authoritative label, saying Fountain Bamboo. It is not Fountain Bamboo, which is Fargesia nitida. On the back it says Fargesia rufa, which it also is not. It is actually Fargesia dracocephala ‘Rufa’, Dragon-head Bamboo. It also says it comes from the mountains of western China, while in fact it comes from Central China, but that is not so important as getting the name so wrong. How have we got into this position in Europe? This disinformation would not happen in the US, where we have verified and standardised bamboo names for most of the horticulturally available bamboos.
