Relevant extracts for *Dendrocalamus strictus* (*Karali, Nakur bans; Kiri bidiru; Male bamboo, narvel; Salia; Kalmungil; Sadanapa Veduru; Lathi bans; Kallumula*) from http://www.inbar.int/publication/txt/tr17/Dendrocalamus/strictus.htm (great details with pictures): "Gregarious flowering cycle varies from 25-45 years. This does not mean that all the clumps of a tract flower at the same time. It commences with intensive sporadic flowering for 2-3 years, increasing progressively resulting in the flowering of all the clumps in a period of five years."
