Schizostachyum diffusum is a climbing bamboo that grows in clusters.

Schizostachyum is a tall or shrub-like tropical genus of bamboo. ^{[2] [3]} They are natives mostly of tropical Asia and Papuasia, with a few species in Madagascar and on certain islands in the Pacific. ^{[1] [4]} A few have become naturalized in other tropical regions. ^[5]

Description

The genus name comes from Greek schistos ("cleft") and stachys ("spike"), referring to the spacing of spikelets.

These are clumping, sometimes climbing woody bamboos, with terete culm-internodes and short, thick (pachymorph), perennial rhizomes. ^[1]
