The hardiness and beauty of bamboos have long been appreciated by botanists and gardeners alike, but few realize that nearly half of the world's approximately 1,200 species are native to North and South America and the Caribbean -- and that they are more diverse than their Asian counterparts. Many American bamboos -- including numerous broad-leaved, herbaceous varieties growing in the rainforest understory -- have been recognized scientifically only in the past generation. Drawing on two decades of fieldwork in the United States and fifteen Latin American countries, the authors bring together current knowledge of the structure, ecology, human uses, conservation value, evolution, and diversity of the forty-one genera of American woody and herbaceous bamboos. They also discuss three genera of basal grasses that resemble bamboos. They describe the importance of bamboos to South American landscapes and cultures, explaining how jungles of guadua and thickets of Chusquea host communities of small animals and how human societies use bamboo for housing, furniture, basketry, food, soil conservation, and musical instruments. Exploring the possibilities of cultivated bamboo, the authors also note its value in some regions as a timber resource. Generously illustrated with color photographs and detailed line drawings, the book provides genus-by-genus descriptions of bamboos as well as habitat data, range maps, lists of recognized species, and complete references. It also includes the most recent molecular and systematic evidence for bamboo evolution and phylogeny. The first ever to focus on the bamboos of the Americas, this volume is an essential resource for botanists, taxonomists,horticulturists, and gardeners.
