Schizostachyum arunachalensis is a bamboo in the tribe Bambuseae and subtribe Melocanninae within the family Poaceae. It is native to Arunachal Pradesh State in India. It is noteworthy for two reasons: First it has very long internodes, up to four feet (1.2 meters) in length. Also, it is one of the very few bamboos with edible fruit.[1]
