[[start page]] Usually one of the side buds start develop-ment ( on the side the sheath opens. It forms a branch complement of 3 equally dominant branches. Later (sometime early) each one will give one side branch from upper nodes of segmented base of primary branch, sometime, in older culms, a second branch is born on [[strikethrough]] an upper node of the 1e axe. 1e axis (3 =) very thick much more than main axis of culm [[/end page]] [[start page]] with base inflated, cores by several short bracts Base of these axis is [[strikethrough]] segmented, a series of very short, but distinct internodes. In the 2e branches almost always have found 1 or 2 "roots"? buds or rounded, big prominence. Culm does not divide. Only branches at nodes branches with leaf couple [[?]] very large, 90-1.25 m +/- long with several [[strikethrough]] leaves. Leaf blades very large long and wide, thick, smooth, glabrous.
