Seven bamboo clumps, locally known as Baijjya bansh (Batnbtisa vulgaris Schrad.) flowered in the village Faridarpara near Bardarhat area of Chittagong town. Flowering started during February, 1979 in all these clumps. Out of the seven clumps, five flowered completely and died within 18 months. The remaining two clumps were found to be part-flowering in nature and were still in healthy and green condition, even after three years of flowering. Flowering which started during February, in both the part and the complete-flowering clumps continued till August-September with a pause from October to January. Flushes during flowering period were not purely continuous but it alternated with short interflushing gaps of 5 to 12 days.
