A reply: "Identifying bamboos by photographs only is not as easy as other flowering plants and for correct identification one needs to see the specimens for study. *However these climbing species from Andaman and Nicobar may be some members of either Neomicrocalamus, Melocalamus or Dinochloa.* One seems like a new species. If u can arrange for me to see the specimen, it will be very nice as I am working on Bamboos only and am very much interested in this. It will be my pleasure to identify these specimens. With thanks and regards. Pushpa Kumari"
