84 Species

Bamboo species form the genus Yushania are spreading temperate to subtropical bamboos, native to Assam, Bangladesh, Borneo, China North-Central, China South-Central, China Southeast, East Himalaya, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Taiwan, Tibet, Vietnam and West Himalaya.

The name Yushania refers to the mountain 'Yu Shan' of the central mountain range of Taiwan. These woody bamboos are thornless and grow at moderate to high altitudes, up to 3,000 m but usually lower.

Yushania has long-necked rhizomes that enable the plants to spread further, giving it a semi-running habit under suitable conditions. The species are mainly of little utility, and several species are even considered invasive weeds. They form good screening but can be rather invasive in warmer sites.

Yushania species have been experiencing many name changes and also contain various bamboo species that used to be assigned to Arundinaria.
