''Fargesia'' is a genus of Asian bamboo in the grass family.〔Franchet, Adrien René. 1893. Bulletin Mensuel de la Société Linnéenne de Paris 2: 1067〕 They are native primarily to China, with a few species in Vietnam and in the eastern Himalayas.〔(Flora of China Vol. 22 Page 74 箭竹属 jian zhu shu ''Fargesia'' Franchet, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Paris. 2: 1067. 1893. )〕 Some species are cultivated as ornamentals, with common names include umbrella bamboo and fountain bamboo.〔Darke, R. 1999. Color Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses: Sedges, Rushes, Cat-tails, and Selected Bamboos 1–325. Timber Press, Portland, Oregon USA〕〔Yi, Tong Pei. 1988. Journal of Bamboo Research 7(2)〕 They are medium to small mountain clumping bamboos, native to alpine conifer forests of East Asia, from China south to Vietnam and west to the eastern slopes of the Himalayas. They are known in Chinese as ''jian zhu'' (), meaning "arrow bamboo". The scientific name was given in honour of the French missionary and amateur botanist Père Paul Guillaume Farges (1844–1912). Fargesias are some of the world's hardiest bamboos, but they do not spread vigorously. Common bamboos in the genus ''Fargesia'' are essential foods for giant pandas, and the recent flowering of ''Fargesia nitida'' has had a devastating effect on panda populations. Because fargesias are becoming more well known for their thick clumping habits, they have become cheaper and available at many nurseries. == Taxonomy == There are currently about 80-90 recognised species, but morphological and genetic analysis suggest transferring many of these to the genera ''Thamnocalamus'', ''Yushania'' and ''Borinda.'' Others are still of unknown relationship.〔 〕 ;accepted species〔(The Plant List search for ''Fargesia'' )〕 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「Fargesia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
