synonym

Bamboo (Gramineae Bambusoideae) generally refers to bamboo (Gramineae Bambusoideae)

Bamboo, also known as bamboo. There are many varieties, such as Phyllostachys pubescens, Dendrocalamus latiflorus, Fargesia, etc. Bambusoideae (bambusaceae or bamboo) is a perennial plant of Gramineae. Its stems are mostly woody, but also herbaceous. It is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean and Pacific Islands. It has many species, some of which are low and grass like, some of which are as tall as big trees, and grow rapidly. It is the fastest growing plant in the world.

It usually grows in pieces by creeping rhizomes underground, and can also reproduce by flowering and seed setting. The seeds are called bamboos. Some kinds of bamboo shoots are edible. Bamboo is tall and straight, slender, green all the year round, proud of snow and frost. It is very popular among Chinese people. It is called "four gentlemen" together with plum, orchid and chrysanthemum, and "three friends of winter" together with plum and pine. From ancient times to the present, there are many literati who love bamboo and sing about it. Many bamboo originated in China, which is also called the cultural relic symbol of China.

Basic introduction

Bamboo is a tall arbor grass. There are more than 70 genera and more than 1000 species recorded, but many of them are synonymous. Bamboo is a tall and fast-growing grass plant, and its stem is made of wood. It is distributed in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate zone. East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean and Pacific islands are the most concentrated, with the most species. The aboveground stem of bamboo is woody and hollow (we call it bamboo stem). It grows in clusters from the underground stem (rhizome) of bamboo.

The stem height of the shortest bamboo species is 10-15 cm, and that of the largest bamboo species is more than 40 m. The mature bamboos have horizontal branches with sword shaped leaves and petioles. The leaves of young plants grow directly from the stems. Although the stems of some species grow rapidly (0.3 m per day), most species only bloom and seed after 12-120 years of growth. Bamboo blooms and bears seeds only once in its life.

The underground stem of bamboo (commonly known as bamboo rhizome) is horizontal growth, with a little empty in the middle, many and dense nodes, and many fibrous roots and buds growing on the nodes. Some buds develop into bamboo shoots and grow out of the ground into bamboo, while others do not grow out of the ground, but grow horizontally and develop into new underground stems. As a result, bamboo grows into forests. Tender bamboo rhizomes and shoots are edible.

In autumn and winter, when the bamboo buds have not yet grown out of the ground, they are called winter shoots. In spring, when bamboo shoots grow out of the ground, they are called spring shoots. Winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots are common food in Chinese dishes. In spring, bamboo shoots are waiting for the spring rain in the dry soil. If there is a soaking rain, the shoots will grow out of the ground quickly.

morphological character

bamboo leaf

Bamboo is a kind of fast-growing herb. Its leaves are narrow lanceolate, 7.5-16 cm long and 1-2 cm wide. The apex is acuminate, the base is blunt, the petiole is about 5 mm long, one side of the edge is smooth, the other side is small serrated and rough; parallel veins, 6-8 pairs of secondary veins, small transverse veins are very significant; the leaf surface is dark green, glabrous, the back color is light, the base has micro hairs; the quality is thin and brittle. The length of bamboo shoot is 10-30cm, and the number of green nodes of adult bamboo is generally between 10-15.

Bamboo flower

Bamboo flower is like rice flower, different kinds of bamboo flower color is different, but the main color is yellow, green, white, some with red, pink and so on. But because it's wind flower, it won't be too bright. Each flower has three stamens and a pistil hidden in the flower. When the pollen of the stamen falls on the stigma of the pistil, it can form seeds. After reproduction, it can grow new bamboos. After flowering, the stems and leaves of bamboo will wither and yellow.

an underground stem

The underground stem of bamboo (commonly known as bamboo rhizome) is horizontal growth, with a little empty in the middle, many and dense nodes, and many fibrous roots and buds growing on the nodes. Some buds develop into bamboo shoots and grow out of the ground into bamboo, while others do not grow out of the ground, but grow horizontally and develop into new underground stems. As a result, bamboo grows into forests. Tender bamboo rhizomes and shoots are edible. The bamboo propagated by seeds is difficult to grow thick. It takes decades to grow to the original bamboo's thickness. Therefore, bamboo rhizomes (i.e. underground stems) are generally used for propagation. It takes only 3-5 years to grow to the required thickness.

Winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots

In autumn and winter, bamboo shoots are called winter shoots when they are dug out before they grow out of the ground; in spring, bamboo shoots are called spring shoots when they grow out of the ground. Winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots are common food in Chinese dishes. In spring, bamboo shoots are waiting for the spring rain in the dry soil. If there is a soaking rain, the shoots will grow out of the ground quickly.

Growth environment

climate

Most of the bamboos like a warm and humid climate, and are abundant in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. Bamboo is one of the forest resources. There are more than 1200 species of bamboos belonging to more than 70 genera in the world, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, and a few in temperate and frigid zones. Bamboo is an evergreen (a few bamboo species fall leaves in dry season) shallow root plant, which is highly sensitive to water and heat conditions. The distribution of water and heat on the earth surface dominates the geographical distribution of bamboo. Southeast Asia is located in the tropics and south subtropics. It is also affected by the Pacific and Indian Ocean monsoon. It has abundant rainfall and stable heat. It is an ideal ecological environment for bamboo growth and the center of bamboo distribution in the world. At present, the surface right of bamboo forest in the world is about 22 million Hm2. The geographical distribution of bamboo in the world can be divided into three regions, namely Asia Pacific bamboo region, America bamboo region and Africa Bamboo region.

Bamboo grows fast after rain.

soil

The requirements of bamboo for soil are that the soil is rich in organic matter and mineral elements. Because the underground stems of tufted and mixed bamboos are shallow in the soil and shoot in summer and autumn, the new bamboos can not be fully lignified in that year and can not stand cold and drought, so the growth of northern bamboos is generally limited, and their soil requirements are also higher than those of scattered bamboos.

water content

The requirement of bamboo for moisture is not only sufficient moisture, but also good drainage.

Distribution range

overview

There are about 100 to 1000 kinds of bamboos in the world. Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have introduced more than 100 kinds of bamboos from more than ten genera, ranging from Moso bamboo to red bamboo, from Asia, Africa and Latin America, which are widely used in garden greening. In particular, the cold resistant species of Phyllostachys, Pleioblastus and Phyllostachys introduced from China and Japan are the main ones.

Asia Pacific bamboo region

Asia Pacific bamboo region is the largest bamboo region in the world. It extends south to New Zealand at 42 ° s, north to the middle of Sakhalin Island at 51 ° n, east to the Pacific Islands and west to the southwest of the Indian Ocean. There are more than 900 species of bamboos belonging to more than 50 genera in this area. The former accounts for about 3 / 5, and the latter accounts for about 2 / 5, among which there are more than 100 species with economic value. The main bamboo producing countries are China, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, etc.

Bamboo originated in China, mainly distributed in the south, such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Zhejiang and so on, with many types, strong adaptability and wide distribution. There are about 500 species of 37 genera in China, mainly in Sichuan. In China, there are allusions about Panda House and bamboo forest. In Liangping of Chongqing, Anji, Lin'an and Deqing of Zhejiang, there are mountains of bamboo. The famous movie crouching tiger, hidden dragon is shot in Anji's Bamboo Sea. Bamboo species in China are distributed all over the country, with the Pearl River Basin and the Yangtze River basin being the most. To the north of Qinling Mountains, there is little rainfall and low temperature, and only a few dwarf bamboos grow.

Bamboo region of America

There are 18 genera and more than 270 species in southern Argentina at 47 ° s and eastern United States at 40 ° n. Among the bamboos in America, Phyllostachys edulis belongs to scattered type, and the other 17 genera belong to cluster type. In North America, there are no native bamboo species except for Phyllostachys edulis and its two subspecies. In Latin America, the Amazon stream between Tropic of cancer and Mexico, Guatemalan, Costa Rica, Nicaraguan, Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil is the center of bamboo distribution. Bamboo species are very rich, and gradually decrease from south to Argentina.

In North and South America, bamboo is mainly distributed in the East. The vertical distribution of bamboo ranges from a few meters above sea level to 3000 meters above sea level (Chile). Since the 20th century, a large number of bamboo species have been introduced from Asia in North and South America. According to the survey of bamboos in Brazil from 1985 to 1986, it is estimated by Nomura that there are 340 million hectares of bamboos in the Amazon basin, of which about 3% are bamboos, that is, there are 10.2 million hectares of bamboos.

Bamboo region of Africa

The distribution range of bamboo in this area is small, from the south of Mozambique at 22 ° s to the east of Sudan at 16 ° n in the north. From Seneca on the west coast of Africa
