英语词汇bamboo的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	bamboo
词源	bamboo. Linnaeus adopted the Maylay name bambu for these giant grasses, giving the name to the plant’s genus, which consists of about 120 species and whose name has come to be spelled bamboo, probably in error. The tropical bamboos range from 15 to 100 feet in height. An interestingly named bamboo is the Chinese Buddha’s belly bamboo (Bam- busa ventricosa). Bambis oldhamii, Oldham’s bamboo, is grown for the excellent flavor of its shoots. In the U.S. the native bamboo is called a cane, including the sugar cane, which of- ten forms impenetrable canebrakes 15 to 25 feet high in the South.
