Himalayacalamus is an Asian genus of mountain clumping bamboo in the grass family.[1][2] Species members are found growing at lower altitudes of the Himalaya in Bhutan, Tibet, India, and Nepal.[3]
The genus is often confused with Drepanostachyum. Drepanostachyum, however, has many equal branches, Himalayacalamus species have one dominant branch.
