A bamboo species of the grass family (APG classification: Poaceae). A variant resulting from a mutation of Madake. The culms and branches are golden in color, with broad vertical green lines on the side with buds (branches), and the golden and green colors alternate from bottom to top at each node, creating a beautiful pattern. Some leaves have yellow or white vertical stripes. It has long been known as a rare bamboo, and is illustrated in old gardening books. Five locations across the country have been designated natural monuments. However, one of these bamboos in Tsukuda, Akagi-cho, Shibukawa-shi, Gunma Prefecture is different from Kinmei-chiku, and is silvermei-chiku, with green and gold colors alternating at each node.

イネ科(APG分類:イネ科)のタケ・ササ類。マダケの突然変異によってできた変種。稈(かん)と枝が黄金(こがね)色で、芽(枝)のある側に縦の緑色の幅広い線があり、黄金色と緑色が節ごとに交互に下から上まで連なり美しい。葉に黄または白色の縦縞(たてじま)のあるものがある。昔から珍しい竹として知られ、園芸の古書にも図解されている。全国の5か所で天然記念物に指定されている。しかし、そのうちの群馬県渋川市赤城町津久田(あかぎまちつくだ)のものはキンメイチクとは異なり、緑色と黄金色が節ごとに交互に連なるギンメイチクである。 [鈴木貞雄 2019年8月20日] [参照項目] | |©大多和鐘三"> タケのおもな種類(1)〔標本画〕 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
