The Bamboos of Thailand - Native and Introduced Species (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) — An Annotated Compilation

THE BAMBOOS OF THAILAND presents a comprehensive compilation of information on native and introduced species of bamboo (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) in Thailand. 

The first main chapter of the publication deals with native and naturalized bamboo species, and the second main chapter deals with introduced bamboo species, with the species of each chapter arranged in alphabetical order. The prime data compiled are the botanical names (genera and species), including the main synonyms, some vernacular names (including Thai names if available), the distribution of the species, citations of descriptions from original and/or selected secondary publications of the species, listed specimens (predominantly from the own living bamboo collection), own descriptions of the specimens (focused on vegetative characteristics), and numerous photographs of selected specimens, along with comments and references. 

The compilation includes a brief account of the Bambusetum Baan Sammi (the location of the living bamboo collection), as well as a bibliography and indexes.
