[Malay bambu, mambu.] (Bot.)
A plant of the family of grasses, and genus {Bambusa},
growing in tropical countries.

flowers grow in large panicles, from the joints of the
stalk, placed three in a parcel, close to their
receptacles. Old stalks grow to five or six inches in

building, and for all sorts of furniture, for water
pipes, and for poles to support palanquins. The smaller
stalks are used for walking sticks, flutes, etc.
