Chimonobambusa tumidissinoda (筇竹, commonly called walking stick bamboo) is a bamboo species, endemic to southwest Sichuan and northeast Yunnan, China , that has been used for walking sticks since the Han Dynasty. Its culms are 2.5–6 meters in height and 1–3 cm in diameter, with large and greatly swollen disk-like nodes. Although it has been utilized since the Han Dynasty (some 1200 years ago) it somehow escaped scientific description until 1980.[1]
