Abstract
NATURE was so good as to publish (August 27, 1885), a communication from Mr. W. T. Thiselton Dyer in relation to my discovery of the square bamboo. Supplementary to the information therein given I send the following which I have just met with in a Chinese work:— “It grows wild in the northeastern portion of Yunnan on the sequestered mountains of Takuan-ting and Chênhsing-Chou, to which in spring men, women, and children resort for cutting its shoots, which they tie in bundles and send to market. It is prized above all other bamboo shoots as an esculent.”
