| Abstract | Following fieldwork in Yunnan and the recent introduction of several Sino-Himalayan bamboos, an additional 10 species are now considered to belong in the genus Borinda Stapleton: B. albocerea , B. edulis , B. frigidorum , B. fungosa , B. hsuehana , B. lushuiensis , B. papyrifera and B. perlonga from Yunnan, and B. fansipanensis from northern Vietnam, were all originally described in Fargesia Franch., while B. schmidiana from southern Vietnam was originally described in Arundinaria Michx. This extends the distribution of Borinda along a continuous belt of mountain ranges from western Nepal to southern Vietnam, and brings the total number of species in the genus to 18. |
