Abstract

The bamboo genus Gigantochloa is well-known for its ecological and economic significance in various parts of Asia. However, its occurrence in India has been under-researched. This study explores the distribution and characteristics of Gigantochloa species in India, focusing on identifying and describing a new species. Field surveys, morphological analysis, and molecular techniques were employed to document existing species and confirm the discovery of the new species, Gigantochloa indica. The findings contribute to understanding bamboo biodiversity in India and provide insights for conservation and sustainable use.

Conclusion

This research documents the presence of several Gigantochloa species in India and introduces a new species, Gigantochloa indica. The findings contribute to understanding bamboo biodiversity in India and provide a foundation for future studies on the ecology, conservation, and utilization of bamboo resources.
