Chusquea pinifolia (Nees) Nees
Minas Gerais: Mun. Itamonte, Parque Nacional de Itatiaia,
Pico das Agulhas Negras, near abrigo Rebougas, Rio Campo Belo,
2300 m. 44°38'W, 22°23'S.
Campo de altitude. Plants in discrete clumps, near streams or
seeps. Culms to about 1 m tall, apparently young, sprouting
from the base of old dead culms that are about 2 m tall; dead
culms probably killed in the Sept. 1988 fire here, so the
regrowth has occurred since then. Branching intravaginal;
subsidiary branches developing first, then the central branch.
Culm leaves soon drying and separating from the nodes, not
persistent. Older culms becoming quite bushy, evidently
through rebranching of subsidiary branches. All vegetative.
Treated with 70% EtOH.
