''Chusquea culeou'' ((スペイン語:caña coligüe or colihue)) is a bamboo native to the Valdivian rainforests, humid temperate forests of Chile and southwestern Argentina. Unlike most species within the genus ''Chusquea'', it is frost-tolerant and thus widely cultivated in temperate regions. Its hairy lanceolate leaves have a spine on their end, and its flower is a whisk of light brown colour. The plant also produces a caryopsis fruit. After blooming and releasing its seeds, the plant dies. The cane is straight, of up to 6 metres in height, and was used by the Aboriginals for the pole of their spears. They are still used by the Mapuche people for a musical instrument known as trutruca. A feature of this ''Chusquea'' is that the stems are solid, unlike most bamboos. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=428〕 == External links == *(Bamboo garden ) *(Chusquea culeou - E.Desv. ) *(Images ) *(Germplasm Resources Information Network ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chusquea culeou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
