The biological characteristics are as follows: Bambusa multiplex belongs to indefinite inflorescence. False spikelets cluster in every nodes of culms and branches. Bambusa multiplex is a continuous flowering bamboo species. In Nanjing the flower buds usually begin to differentiate in October of last year while are in bloom in April and May next year.
