Cephalostachyum is a genus of Asian and Madagascar bamboo in the grass family.[3][2]
The plants are of small to medium size compared to most other bamboo. Their choice habitats are mountain to lowland forests.[4]

Chinese maps show a Cephalostachyum Museum in Beijing. However, this appears to be a mistranslation; the museum is actually dedicated to the diabolo, a kind of yo-yo made of bamboo.[7]
