Acidosasa is a genus of bamboo (tribe Bambuseae of the family Poaceae).[1] It comprises 6 genera, mostly found in Southern China, with 1 species also in Indochina. Its name is formed from Latin acidum ("sour") and Sasa (another bamboo genus), referring to its edible shoots. Young shoots of the plants are preserved by the local population.
