Bamboos are fast-growing monocotyledonous considered as environmental regenerators due to their ability to occupy degraded soils, decreasing erosive processes. Bamboos are also largely used as ligno-cellulosic raw material for several purposes. Due to their outstanding importance, the objective of this paper was to study the stem anatomy of different adult bamboo species to better characterize the structural divergences among different groups. Information was collected from literature review on morphological and anatomical characteristics, as fiber classification, parenchymatous cells, sclerenchyma sheaths and vascular bundles (xylem/phloem) of several bamboo species. Bamboo species may be sorted in four groups, considering mainly differences of vascular bundle shape and percentage of fibers.Downloads
