To practice the ID?

[Needmore]

I have some photos of bamboo shoots - I already know the correct identification but if anyone like to guess the correct names here you can try to guess! Some are not so easy, one clue is that all are Phyllostachys.

Yes, you are correct for #5 & #8 but not the others.

too hard for me, but i'll try and give it a shot.

the number 1 could it be a Phyllostachys Bambusoides??

Excellent, you have most of them correct, #6 though is not viridis so we still have #1, #2, #6 to identify, I think that these remaining 3 bamboos are not so common in Europe. Here are the correct ID's thus far.
1
2
3 kwangsiensis
4 Angusta
5 mannii 'Décora'
6
7propinqua 'Beijing' in the US, I think same as Li Yu Gan
8rubromarginata
9 heteroclada Solidus form
10 Glauca yunzhu

Always very surprising than just a shoot photo is enough to recognise the right bamboo.
Felicitations, and admiration.
Many thanks for this quizz

#6 - bambusoïdes ? ..... 'castillon' ??

[Needmore]

O.K., here are the remaining 3

#1=Stimulosa
#2=Platyglossa
#6=Makinoi

All are photos of bamboo that produce mature looking shoots and still it can be very difficult to identify from just the shoots as you say. Then we have the species where the mature shoots can look the same and it is nearly impossible to identify, no?

[Rhum]

Thanks for your quizz needore. The 3 remaining was vert difficult to find.
Phyllostachys makinoi looks good , can you Tell me more about it?
