Thyrsostachys (Greek, thyrse and spike). Gramineae. A genus of 2 species of arborescent bamboos native to Upper Burma and Siam, which has been referred to Rottboellia but is probably sufficiently distinct. The st.-sheaths are long, thin and persistent, with a long narrow blade. The lvs. are small or moderate-sized. T. siamensis, Gamble, is a tender, deciduous, "giant bamboo," with very graceful tufted sts. 25-30 ft. high and 1 1/2 - 3 in. thick: st.-sheaths waved and truncate at the top, 9-11 x 4 1/2 -8 in.; auricles short- triangular: blade narrowly triangular: lvs. small, narrow; linear, 3-6 x 1/3-1/2 in. Siam.—Once intro. in S. Calif., but it did not persist. Probably not now in cult. in this country outside test-grounds. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
