Schizostachyum lima, also known as anos, bokawe, or bocaue in Tagalog and bagakay in Cebuano, is a type of bamboo plant in the Poaceae family. It can be propagated through seeds or rhizome cuttings and is commonly used in the Philippines for making sawali, fishing rods, and musical instruments. In some rural areas, it is also used by midwives to cut newborns' umbilical cords. The name of the Barangay of Anos in Los Baños, Laguna is derived from this plant.
