“…Four distinct genera are currently recognized in this group: (a) Melocalamus Benth. from Bangladesh, S. China, India (Assam), Myanmar and Vietnam (GAMBLE, 1896a;OHRNBERGER, 1999;LI & STAPLETON, 2006;NGUYEN & TRAN, 2010), characterized by having 2-florets; (b) Dinochloa Buse, from India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, China and Vietnam (DRANSFIELD, 1981;OHRNBERGER, 1999), characterized by having 1-floret; (c) Sphaerobambos J. Dransf. from the Philippines, Borneo and Sulawesi (DRANSFIELD, 1989), characterized by having several florets; and (d) Cyrtochloa J. Dransf.…”

“…and species new to Vietnam (e.g. Le et al, 2009;Nguyen & Tran, 2010b;, these were mostly based on new discoveries of taxa in the wild and careful accounting and documentation of numerous species found in association with human settlements had yet to be accomplished.…”

Bambusa Schreb. (Poaceae, Bambusoideae) is a large and complex tropical and subtropical Asian genus that is currently being taxonomically remodeled through morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches. The type and type alliance of the genus is, however, morphologically well distinguished. Preliminary documentation suggests there could be some 60-70 species of Bambusa in Vietnam, although confirmation requires more rigorous herbarium-based vouchering. A new species of bamboo belonging to the type alliance, Bambusa gurgandii K. M. Wong & M. H. Diep, is described, known only from cultivated specimens in Vietnam. It belongs to the group of unarmed Bambusa species including Bambusa burmanica Gamble, Bambusa farinacea K. M. Wong, Bambusa nutans Wall. ex Munro, Bambusa polymorpha Munro, Bambusa teres Buch.-Ham. ex Munro and Bambusa tulda Roxb. but is distinguished by details of the pseudospikelets and flowers.

“…The latest estimate for Vietnamese bamboos is 210 species in 27 genera (Nguyen and Tran ). New genera (Nguyen and Tran , 2016, Nguyen et al , Tran et al ) and new species (Nguyen and Tran , Nguyen et al , , b, Nguyen and Tran , 2014, Nguyen and Xia , Wong and Diep 2015) published in recent years suggest that the survey of bamboos in Vietnam is still far from complete.…”

“…Melocalamus are characterized by geniculately thickened nodes, a ring of white silky hairs on the infranode, one dominant branch sometimes replacing the main culm and fleshy fruits. This genus is distributed in southeastern China, in northeast India, and throughout Vietnam, where six new species of Melocalamus were recently described (Nguyen and Tran ), viz. M. blaoensis H.N.Nguyen & V.T.Tran, M. cucphuongensis H.N.Nguyen & V.T.Tran, M. kbangensis H.N.Nguyen & V.T.Tran, M. pacoensis H.N.Nguyen & V.T.Tran, M. truongsonensis H.N.Nguyen & V.T.Tran and M. yenbaiensis H.N.Nguyen & V.T.Tran.…”

Here we describe and illustrate a new species, Melocalamus grandiauritus N.H. Xia, Q.M. Qin & J. B. Ni sp. nov., from the lowland forest in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. Molecular phylogeny based on the GBSSI indicates that this species is a member of Melocalamus. Morphologically, M. grandiauritus is different from all congeneric species in Vietnam. It is somewhat similar to M. pacoensis H.N.Nguyen & V.T.Tran, but is easily distinguished by having much wider suborbicular culm leaf auricles, very high and ventricose auricles of foliage leaves, entire ligules of both culm leaves and foliage leaves, and large leaf blades.
