Sasa , also known as dwarf bamboo in German, is a genus of bamboo from theArundinarieae tribe . The range of the approximately 60 species is in China, Japan, Korea and in eastern Russia.
features
Sasa is a genus of perennial , shrubby growing bamboo species . The rhizomes are leptomorphic and form long shoots that grow underground. The internodes are thick-walled, stalk-round, hairless and sometimes white floured or sparsely hairy under the nodes. The branches grow individually and are often as long as the stalks. The straw sheaths are permanent and paper-like to almost leathery. Leaf tubes can be formed. The blade blade is lanceolate. The leaves usually have no auricles. The ligule is a ciliated or non-ciliated membranous border. The base of the leaf blade has a stalk-like connection to the leaf sheath. The leaf blades are very large and hand-shaped compared to the stalks and can have transverse leaf veins. The leaf margins die off in winter.
Loose panicles or grapes are formed as inflorescences , the base of which can be enclosed by a small bract . The spikelets are purple or red when ripe and have four to eight florets. Fertile spikelets are stalked. The spikelet axis is not articulated and elongated at the last floret. The glumes are more or less hairy, the glume margins are long ciliate. The lower glume is shorter than the upper and can also be absent entirely. The lemma is ovate or oblong-lanceolate, almost leathery and long prickly. The palea is double keeled. The three cavernous bodies are egg-shaped, thin, translucent and have ciliate edges. The six stamens protrude far from the floret and have yellow anthers. The ovary is egg-shaped and only wearing a short pen with three feathered scars . When ripe, dark brown caryopses are formed as fruits .
Geographical distribution
The natural range is in China , Japan , Korea and in eastern Russia . Eight species are endemic to China .
use
Due to the large size of the rhizomes, some species are used in Japan to fortify soils.
Diseases
The rust fungi Puccinia longicornis , Puccinia sasicola and Puccinia mitriformis occur in different species of the genus .
Systematics
Sasa is a genus from the Arundinarieae tribe in the sweet grass family (Poaceae), subfamily bamboo (Bambusoideae). The genus was first described in 1901 by Tomitaro Makino and Keita Shibata in the Japanese journal Botanical Magazine . Synonyms of the genus are Neosasamorpha Tatew. and Nipponobambusa Muroi . The generic name Sasa comes from Japanese and is probably a short form of sásai na také , which means something like "low- growing bamboo".
At least two sub-genera are distinguished:
- Subgenus Sasa : The stalks and the inflorescence axes are not floured in white, the stem sheaths are shorter than the internodes, there may be auricles, the branches extend from the stem at an angle of 20 to 30 degrees, the leaf blades are dull in color. More than 40 species are assigned to the subgenus, including Sasa guangxiensis , Sasa longiligulata , Sasa oblongula , Sasa rubrovaginata and Sasa tomentosa .
- Subgenus Sasamorpha (Nakai) CHHu : The stalks and the inflorescence axes are clearly floured in white, the nodes are flat or only slightly raised, the stem sheaths are longer than the internodes, the branches extend from the stem at an angle of 10 degrees, the leaf blade is wide glittering. Five to 22 species are assigned to the subgenus, including Sasa hubeiensis , Sasa qingyuanensis and Sasa sinica .
Around 45–60 species are assigned to the genus. According to R. Govaerts, the following species are recognized:
