Bambusa moreheadiana F.M.Bailey

It is native to Queensland in north-eastern Australia.[2]

The grass forms clumps and grows up to 12m tall. Other sources say it can be up to two hundred feet (sixty meters) in length.[3] Culms (aerial stem bearing the inflorescence), will get up to 4cm in diameter however they are thin walled. It has large leaves and doesn’t have basal branches.[4]

The genus name of Mullerochloa is in honour of Lennox Muller, an Australian psychologist turned exotic plant farmer in Innisfail, Far North Queensland.[5] [6] The Latin specific epithet of moreheadiana is in honour of Boyd Dunlop Morehead (1843–1905), an English-born Australian politician.[7] Both genus and species were first described and published in Blumea Vol.50 on pages 434-435 in 2005.[2]
