A short encyclopedia entry on bamboo from The Americana, describing it as a group of tropical and sub-tropical tree-like grasses with over 200 species, most abundant in southern Asia and America. It covers their size, rapid growth, and the many uses of the stems, leaves, shoots and seeds (building, utensils, basketry, hats, paper, food), plus notes on ornamental cultivation. A halftone photograph of a bamboo grove in Java accompanies the text.
