Bambusa multiplex (Lour.) Raeusch.

Japanese: ホウライチク(蓬萊竹) - ホウライチク(英語表記)Bambusa multiplex (Lour.) Raeusch.
Bambusa multiplex (Lour.) Raeusch.
A medium-sized bamboo in the Poaceae family. The culms grow in clumps like rice stalks, and bamboo shoots appear in summer, hence the name Doyo bamboo, the young bamboo growing on the outside of the culm to protect the older bamboo inside, and Daruma bamboo, due to their strong regenerative power. Although native to tropical Asia, they also grow well in warm areas of Japan. Growing in clumps is a characteristic of this genus, as the underground stems are short and connected to the culms above ground. Some can reach a height of 8m. There are several or more branches at each node, and the twigs have 6 to 16 pinnate, long, thin leaves.

Japanese:
イネ科の中型のタケ。稈(かん)はイネの株のようにかたまってはえ,たけのこが夏ごろから出るので土用竹,若竹が株の外側に出て内側の老竹を守っている姿から孝行竹,強い再生力のあることから達磨(だるま)竹などの名がある。原産地は熱帯アジアであるが,日本の暖地にもよく育つ。かたまってはえるのは,この属の特徴であるが,これは地下茎が短く地上の稈に連なっているからである。高さ8mになるものもある。節ごとの枝の数は数本以上叢生(そうせい)し,小枝に細長い葉が6~16枚,羽状につく。
