Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Shibataea kumasaca, also known as ruscus-leaf bamboo or ruscus bamboo, is a flowering plant native to China but widely cultivated in other regions. It is a compact, evergreen bamboo that can grow up to 1.5 meters tall. It has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in the UK. However, it can become invasive in certain conditions due to its creeping rootstock. There is a debate about the correct name for this species, with some citing its Japanese origins and calling it Shibataea kumasasa, while others use the Latinized name Shibataea kumasaca. This issue has yet to be resolved by taxonomic authorities.
