Gaoligongshania megalothyrsa is a species of small, bushy mountain bamboo, [1] in the monotypic genus Gaoligongshania. [2] Like Ferrocalamus, [3] this genus is found only in Yunnan Province of China, and near the Myanmar border, at an altitude of 1,600 to 2,200 m (5,200 to 7,200 ft). It is named after the Gaoligong Mountains, where it is endemic. [1]
Gaoligongshania megalothyrsa is an annual or perennial small bamboo, having the culms 1 to 3.5 m long and about 1 cm in diameter. The internodes are 30–35 cm in distance. Culm sheaths are persistent, yellow or green-brown in colour. Along the internodes are leathery, dense, short and spiny hairs. The auricles are well-developed, and purple in colour. Leaf sheaths are covered by white powdery material; the leaf blade is oblong- lanceolate, with long transverse and parallel veins. Anthers are yellow about 5 mm in length. Ovary is oblong. New shoots are produced during April and May, and flowering time is in October. [1]
