We are currently growing 3 forms a very small selection we call 'Baby Blue', the robust 'Teague's Blue' and one that is in between which we simply label as Himalayacalamus hookerianus.
This species was more commonly sold in the U.S. as Drepanostachyum falcatum but plants in cultivation in the U.S. were determined to be Himalayacalamus hookerianus by Kew botanist Chris Stapleton.
To confuse matters even more the Candy Stripe Bamboo often sold as Drepanostachyum hookerianum turned out to be Himalayacalamus falconeri 'Damarapa'.

 Bamboo diversity and conservation in India - Sas Biswas
The occurrence of temperate type of forests at lower altitudes in Shillong Plateau may be attributed to the fact that climatic factors with regard to altitude vary from one mountain to the others (Biswas 1988).
The principal species are represented by Chimonobambusa (Sinarundinaria) callosa, C. jaunsarensis, Drepanostachyum (Thamnocalamus) falcatum, D. hookerianum, D. intermedium, D. polystachyum, Himalayacalamus falconeri, Neomicrocalamus (Racemobambos) prainii, Arundinaria (Sinarundinaria) rolloana, Phyllostachys bambusoides, Semiarundinaria (Sinarundinaria) pantlingii, Sinobambusa elegans, Thamnocalamus aristatus and T.
Further it is striking to find that an appreciable number of lesser-known bamboos are grown by the indigenous communities living in and around the key areas of conservation.
