Albinism is an important natural event that influences seedling development in most of the tree species, and it is mostly governed by homozygous recessive genes. A survey was conducted to ascertain the natural regeneration status of Bambusa bambos in the established LTI (Long Term Tree Increment) Plot located in Karka range, Dharwad Circle, which had gregarious flowering was observed in 2008-2010. A well-established albinic variant of B. bambos was observed on the forest floor amongst other established B. bambos seedlings, having a height of 90 cm with good rhizome development.
