摘要

This study critically examines historical reports of Phyllostachys bambusoides, highlighting controversies in its identity and distribution in India. At present, five Phyllostachys species, viz. P. mannii, P. nigra, P. aurea, P. glauca, P. edulis, and a variety P. nigra var. henonis distributed in India, without concrete evidence on occurrence of P. bambusoides. Further, the scrutiny of literature and herbarium specimens revealed that P. mannii from Arunachal Pradesh, and P. nigra var. henonis from Sikkim, West Bengal and Himachal Pradesh, were erroneously identified as P. bambusoides. Thus, the identity and occurrence of P. bambusoides in India remain uncertain and require further confirmation.
