Indocalamus

Indocalamus is a genus of about 35 species of flowering plants in the grass family (Poaceae),^[3][2][4] native to central and southern China, Hainan, Vietnam, and Laos.^[5] They are quite small evergreen bamboos normally up to 2 m (6.6 ft) in height, initially forming clumps and then spreading to form larger thickets. They have thick, glossy leaves.^[6] Ruo leaves use to wrap foods like rice during dragon boat festival, originate in fujian refer to Indocalamus longiauritus originally but now are nonspecific to just about any leaf wrap.
