8 PRIORITY SPECIES OF BAMBOO AND RATTAN Criteria for selection of species Criteria agreed to be used during discussion on individual species included the following: 1. Utilization 1.1 Relative importance to countries in terms of current use 1.2 Relative importance to regions in terms of current use 1.3 Potential importance for expanded use in countries 1.4 Potential importance for expanded use in regions 2. Cultivation 2.1 Knowledge on degree of domestication and commercialization 2.2 Potential for generation of knowledge 3. Products and processing 3.1 Products currently valued 3.2 Products likely to increase in value 3.3 Enhanced processing shows clear potential 4. Germplasm and genetic resources 4.1 Material currently available or expected to be readily available 4.2 Degree of genetic erosion of the resource base 4.3 Needs for genetic resources conservation programmes 5. Agro-ecology 5.1 Suitability for agro-ecological zones 5.2 Suitability for use in special circumstances e.g. degraded lands, and mountainous areas These criteria agreed in 1993 and used still remain valid. In addition to the five criteria listed above, the actual situation in each individual country has been reviewed and additional taxa have been added in this revision.
The major priority species From the beginning it was recognized that a consensus on the major priorities for regional and international action would, of necessity, not include many of the other species which are used locally and many of which are the subject of research by national programmes. It is stressed that research on these should continue to receive attention from national programmes. However, one or more locally and some what regionally or sub-regionally important species can be added. The following 20 taxa of bamboos are accorded high priority for international action based on the criteria discussed earlier: Bambusa balcooa Roxb. B. bambos (L.) Voss B. blumeana J A and J H Schultes B. polymorpha Munro B.textilis McClure B. tulda Roxb. B. vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl Cephalostachyum pergracile Munro Dendrocalamus asper (Schultes f.) Backer ex Heyne D.giganteus Wallich ex Munro D.latiflorus Munro D. strictus (Roxb.) Nees Gigantochloa apus J A and J.H. Schultes G.levis (Blanco) Merrill G.pseudoarundinacea (Steud.) Widjaja Guadua angustifolia Kunth Melocanna baccifera (Roxb.) Kurz Ochlandra Thw. (Spp.) Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel ex H. de Leh 11 including P.bambusoides Sieb. and Zucc and P. edulis Makino Thyrsostachys siamensis (Kurz) Gamble (Table 1) Table 1 illustrates the value of these species for utilization and for environmental rehabilitation, their degree of domestication, climatic ranges and needs for genetic conservation and further survey. A further 18 taxa were noted to be important and the information available on them have been updated (Table 3). See page 50 onwards. Arundinaria spp Bambusa atra Lindl.
