Schizostachyum lima (Blanco) Merrill[1] | |
Schizostachyum lima (Tagalog: Anos)[1][2] is a flowering[1][2] species of Bamboo.[1][2] It is propagated using seeds or rhizome cuttings.[1][2] In the Philippines, it is often used for making sawali, fishing rods, and musical instruments.[2] In some rural areas of the country, midwives still use sharp knives made of Schizostachyum lima to cut the newborn's umbilical cord.[1]
The name of the Barangay (village) of Anos in Los Baños, Laguna is derived from this species.
