Description
Culms thick walled, not thorny, arising singly-several meters apart, 15-20 m. tall. Culm leaves persistent and rotting in place: sheath thick, hard, covered with dense mat of brown hairs that rub off easily; blade erect when new but reflexed at maturity. Branch complement: many branches breaking simultaneously with one dominant on that develops on higher nodes, reaching out over trees for support and rebranching, producing a graceful foliage that hangs from the trees. Leaves wilt soon after culm is severed.
