Dwarf white-stripe bamboo (Pleioblastus fortunei)

The stalks typically grow to a height ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters, though they can occasionally reach up to 80 centimeters. They have a diameter of about 1 to 2 millimeters. The internodes are short and smooth, while the nodes are either flat or slightly thicker. The culm sheaths remain on the plant and are hairless. Generally, branches are either absent or there is one branch per node. Each branch or stalk usually produces four to seven leaves.
