Orphan date April 2010 Unreferenced date December 2009 Mottled bamboo , Phyllostachys bambusoides f. lacrima deae , is also known in Chinese as Xiangfei . It is a Phyllostachys bamboo species native in Hunan , Henan , Jianxi and Zhejiang , and especially the Jiuyi Mountains of China . The bamboo s brown trunk is mottled with varying shades of purpura like spots. Legends Legend has it that when King Shun died suddenly during a trip to Cangwu , the tears of his two concubines Ehuang and N ying dropped onto surrounding bamboo and stained it forever. Mottled bamboo is known for being a decorative plant. The Chinese name of Xiangfei zhu originates from the legend. Xiang refers to the Xiang River , where the story supposedly took place, fei means concubine and zhu means bamboo , thus the bamboo of the concubines by the Xiang River . The term mottled bamboo is also used to describe online discussion board moderators in Mainland China , because when the word for moderator is entered using the keyboard in Pinyin , the word for mottled bamboo appears as the first option, as they sound very similar. Hence, mottled bamboo gradually became another way of calling a moderator. See also Cosmopterix phyllostachysea Spotted bamboo Same thing? If so, they need to be merged.

orphan date December 2009 Image BambooFlowering.jpg thumb 250px Photograph of flowering bambooBamboo blossom is a natural phenomenon in which the bamboos of a place will blossom and become hung with bamboo seeds. In China and India , bamboo blossom was traditionally seen as a curse or an indication of a starvation coming. Mechanism Bamboos usually have a life cycle of around 40 to 80 years, varying among species. Normally, new bamboos grow up from bamboo shoots at the roots. If the soil changes in humidity or nutrition in such a way that the plants have difficulty growing, they will start to blossom. After the blossom, the flowers produce fruit, which the Chinese called bamboo rice . Then, the bamboo forest will die. Since a bamboo forest usually grows from a single bamboo, the death of bamboos occurs in a large area. Effect Because of misunderstandings about bamboo and the Giant Panda , people used to believe that the death of bamboo forests would seriously affect the lives of great pandas. Now, we know that pandas will move to other bamboo forests when they have consumed all edible bamboos of an area, or when the bamboos of an area are dying. Cultural interpretation Bamboo is believed to be able to sense changes in soil. Therefore, people in China believe that the blossom of bamboos is a precursor of coming natural disasters. Recent studies in India have found that, whenever bamboo blossoms, the rat population will increase fourfold, due to the bamboo rice nurturing the rats, and the expanded population of rats consumes the crops stored by people. Starvation is thus caused, so the blossom has become an indicator of coming starvation in Northeast India.
