荆竹新品种‘紫荆竹’

A New Qiongzhuea montigena‘Zijingzhu’

‘紫荆竹’是由云南乌蒙山国家级自然保护区的野生荆竹(QiongzhueamontigenaYi)变异植株培育而成的竹类新品种。与原野生荆竹的关键区别在于其竹笋的节间、箨鞘为紫色,竹笋生长中,箨鞘紫色逐渐变浅,箨鞘脱落后,节间颜色逐渐变为深紫色,具有较高的观赏价值,是绝好的景观绿化用竹。

‘Zijingzhu’is a new bamboo cultivar selected from the wild variation of Qiongzhuea montigena Yi in Wumeng Mountain National Nature Reserve in Yunnan Province.The key difference between‘Zijingzhu’and the wild Qiongzhuea montigena is that the internodes of the‘Zijingzhu’bamboo shoots and culm sheathes are purple.The culm sheaths gradually turn into light purple and fall off with the growth of the bamboo,then the internodes will develop into dark purple with high ornamental value.
