Bambusa xueana Ohrnb.

Bambusa basisolida W. T. Lin (J. Bamboo Res. 16(3): 23. 1997) was described from sterile material from Guangdong (Yangchun). In the protologue it was compared with B. subtruncata.

Bambusa concava W. T. Lin (J. Bamboo Res. 16(3): 24. 1997) was described from sterile material from Hainan (Haikou). In the protologue it was compared with B. duriuscula.

Bambusa multiplex (Loureiro) Raeuschel ex Schultes & J. H. Schultes var. lutea T. H. Wen (J. Bamboo Res. 1(1): 31. 1982) was described from Zhejiang. The holotype (X. Q. Hua et al. 81901, ZJFI) has an abaxially pale green leaf blade, glabrous culm internodes, subfalcate culm sheath auricles, and abaxially glabrous culm sheath blades. Because these characters are so different from those of B. multiplex, it is not reasonable to recognize it as a variety of that species. According to field records, its culms are up to 3 m high and 1–2 cm in diam. As the holotype is fragmentary and very difficult to identify, further investigations are required to place this taxon effectively.

Bambusa valida (Q. H. Dai) W. T. Lin (Guihaia 10: 15. 1990; Dendrocalamopsis valida Q. H. Dai, Acta Phytotax. Sin. 24: 393. 1986, "validus") was described from material cultivated at the Guangxi Institute of Forestry, Nanning.

Lingnania transvenula W. T. Lin & Z. J. Feng (J. S. China Agric. Univ. 13(2): 82. 1992) was described from Guangdong.

Neosinocalamus rectocuneatus W. T. Lin (Acta Phytotax. Sin. 26: 228. 1988; Sinocalamus rectocuneatus (W. T. Lin) W. T. Lin) was described from Guangdong. This species is a member of Bambusa subg. Dendrocalamopsis.

Sinocalamus concavus W. T. Lin & Z. M. Wu (J. S. China Agric. Univ. 13(2): 82. 1992) was described from Guangdong.

Sinocalamus suberosus W. T. Lin & Z. M. Wu (J. S. China Agric. Univ. 13(2): 83. 1992) was described from Guangdong.

Sinocalamus triramus W. T. Lin & Z. M. Wu (J. S. China Agric. Univ. 15(2): 78. 1994) was described from Guangdong.

Culms 8–12 m, 4–7 cm in diam., apically pendulous; internodes 40–50 cm, initially gray-white or brown pubescent, with brown tomentose rings below nodes, wall ca. 15 mm thick; nodes flat; branches many, central dominant.

Leaves 5–9 per ultimate branch; sheaths glabrous; ligule ca. 0.5 mm; auricles absent; blade 12–25 × 1–2.5 cm, base broadly cuneate, lateral veins 5–9-paired. Pseudospikelets 1–3(to many) per node of inflorescence, yellow-green or slightly lilac, ca. 2 × 0.7 cm, somewhat patent when mature; florets 5–8; rachilla disarticulating, joined to florets. Glumes 1 or 2, yellow, leathery; lemmas broadly ovate, ca. 14 × 1.1 cm, 14–16-veined, apex mucronate; palea narrow, keels pilose, 5–7-veined. Lodicules 2 or 3, transparent, ciliate. Filaments 1(–10) mm; anthers yellow, ca. 6 mm. Ovary pyriform, densely pilose; stigmas 2 or 3.
