Bambus

All bamboo species belong to the Poaceae family. The flower structure and leaves are very reminiscent of our meadow grasses. The decisive differences are in the woody stalks and the evergreen leaves. Bamboo species can be dwarf or large shrubs. Nonetheless, they always have several shoots and form extensive clumps like thickets, even when they are as large as trees.

All bamboo genuses are listed alphabetically in the catalogue.
