Not disagreeing with what you see and ID as Bambusa oldhamii, but with 100percent success ratio, I would like to ask if you would be able to
distinguish the difference in identification between Bambusa vulgaris and
Bambusa oldhamii. A 100 percent success ratio with Bambusa vulgaris could
possibly be expected and no one would have an doubts.

As far as my limited experience allows, I have identified it as B.
Oldhammi, which is the kind found here in the rural areas where
clumps are sometimes found in the yards, or where houses were at one
time. Along the arroyos you find Otate.
