The picture of Dendrocalamus hamiltonii does not match the species, it
rather matches some monopodial species. Also, since D. hamiltonii
flowered 3-4 years back in north eastern India (as far as I remember),
the chances of availability of viable seeds of this species are feeble.

Bamboo seeds have short viability of few months and gradually loose
their
viability.Fresh seeds have given me good results.

I would be skeptical also. The first picture I looked at was labeled as
Bambusa ventricosa. I say the picture is of Bambusa vulgaris ³Wamin².
So
he¹s batting zero for me as far as the seeds he¹s selling.
