Schizostachyum lima is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae.[2] It is a bamboo that in Tagalog is commonly called anos / bokawe / bocaue, and in Cebuano: bagakay.[1][3] It is propagated using seeds or rhizome cuttings.[1][3] In the Philippines, it is often used for making sawali, fishing rods, and musical instruments.[3] In some rural areas of the country, midwives still use sharp knives made of Schizostachyum lima to cut the newborn's umbilical cord.[1]
