		The bamboo is a living symbol of man's past and future potential, and it is a bridge which leads him in seven knots, like the narthex which carries the flame, to the knowledge of himself.

	Edison, His Life and Inventions - CHAPTER XIII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Although Edison had satisfied himself that bamboo furnished the most desirable material thus far discovered for incandescent-lamp filaments, he felt that in some part of the world there might be found a natural product of the same general character that would furnish a still more perfect and homogeneous material.
		A two months' investigation of the latter island revealed a variety of bamboo growths, of which a great number of specimens were obtained and shipped to Menlo Park; but on careful test they were found inferior to the Jap- anese bamboo, and hence rejected.
		The use of Japanese bamboo for carbon filaments was therefore continued in the manufacture of lamps, although an incessant search was maintained for a still more perfect material.

		Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences volume 901.
		The reason for calling attention to prototypes (which are normally considered as pertaining to pre- or non-scientific contexts) is the suspicion that in some of the abstract theorizing, the base exemplars are not described much better than by everyday prototypes, and the pool of paradigmatic exemplars [4] indeed has a prototypical character.
		However, one could also say that it is not really knowledge about the bamboo but about the abstract property of self-organizing systems, a property that all plants, including the bamboo, happen to share.

		The shadows of the bamboo pole happened to be the shortest at the summer solstice and longest at the winter solstice.
