Abstract

Based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence, we confirmed that some bamboo collections from Guangxi, China, represent a new species of Indosasa. The new species, named I. fimbriligulata, is morphologically similar to I. glabrata but differs by having internodes that are white strigose when young, and hollow without or with a little clastic pith, culm buds triangular, culm leaf sheaths abaxially scattered with tufted brown setae, culm leaf auricles well developed, and culm leaf ligule apex long fimbriate. A detailed description, as well as two color plates of this new species, is also provided.

Introduction

Indosasa McClure was established by F. A. McClure (1940), with I. crassiflora designated as its generic type. It belongs to the subtribe Arundinariinae of the tribe Arundinarieae (Poaceae, Bambusoideae) (Zhang et al. 2020) and contains 17 species mainly distributed in China (Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan), Vietnam, and Laos (Zhu and Zhao 1996; Zhu and Stapleton 2006; Vorontsova et al. 2016; Niu et al. 2021, 2022, 2025a). It is diagnosed by leptomorph (monopodial) rhizomes, diffuse culms, strongly raised culm supra-nodal ridges, pseudospikelets, six stamens, and three stigmas per floret (McClure 1940; Chao and Chu 1983; Zhu and Zhao 1996; Xue et al. 2003; Zhu and Stapleton 2006; Yi et al. 2008; Xia and Lin 2009; Xia et al. 2016; Shi et al. 2021). However, some recent phylogenomic studies suggested that Indosasa sensu lato (s.l.) is non-monophyletic (Guo et al. 2021; Niu 2025). Indosasa sensu stricto (s.s.) is defined by the possession of strongly raised and asymmetrically swollen branch supra-nodal ridges, usually 4–9 foliage leaves per ultimate branch, and the traits mentioned above (Niu 2025). The newly defined Indosasa s.s. has only eight species, and its distribution is limited to Guangxi, Yunnan, and South Guizhou of China, North Vietnam, and North Laos (Niu 2025).

During two field investigations in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, we encountered a running bamboo that does not fit the description of any known species. However, some traits, such as strongly raised culm supra-nodal ridges, strongly raised and asymmetrically swollen branch supra-nodal ridges, and the branch complement with three branches per mid-culm node, match well with those diagnostic of Indosasa s.s. After comparison with all the previously recorded species of Indosasa in national and local floras (Chao and Chu 1983; Zhu and Zhao 1996; Xue et al. 2003; Zhu and Stapleton 2006; Yi et al. 2008; Xia and Lin 2009; Xia et al. 2016; Shi et al. 2021), as well as the monograph of Indosasa (Niu 2025), we found that this species is most similar to I. glabrata C.D.Chu & C.S.Chao. In order to clarify the taxonomic identity of this bamboo, we conducted phylogenetic and morphological studies. Finally, we confirmed that this bamboo is new to science based on morphological and molecular evidence.

Materials and methods

Morphological study

Morphological comparisons between this new species and morphologically similar species were conducted based on living plants in the field, specimens, protologues, and descriptions from floras (Chao and Chu 1983; Zhu and Zhao 1996; Zhu and Stapleton 2006; Xia et al. 2016; Niu 2025). Some detailed characters, such as indumentum, were observed with a stereomicroscope (Mshot MZ101, Guangzhou Micro-shot Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, China). Measurements were taken using a ruler or micrometer. Terminology follows McClure (1940), Li et al. (2006), and Beentje (2016).

Taxon sampling, DNA extraction, and sequencing

To ascertain the phylogenetic position of this new species, we conducted phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear single-copy orthologous genes (SOGs). According to the most recent phylogenetic framework of three-branched bamboos (Niu et al. 2025b), we selected 22 samples representing 21 bamboo species belonging to eight genera. Specifically, the ingroup from the tribe Arundinarieae contained six species of Indosasa, three species of Acidosasa B.M.Yang, three species of Oligostachyum Z.P.Wang & G.H.Ye, three species of Pseudosasa Makino ex Nakai, two species of Pleioblastus Nakai, two species of Sinobambusa Makino ex Nakai, and one species of Indocalamus Nakai. Bambusa vulgaris Nees from the tribe Bambuseae was chosen as the outgroup. Sample numbers and their corresponding voucher information are listed in Suppl. material 1: table S1.

For DNA extractions, young leaves were collected in the field and dried with silica gel. Total genomic DNA was extracted from the dried leaves using the Rapid Plus DNA Lib Prep Kit for Illumina (RK2008) (ABclonal, Woburn, USA) and sheared (1 μg DNA per sample) using a Covaris M220 ultrasonicator (Covaris, Woburn, USA). PCR products were purified using the AMPure XP system (Beverly, USA). Library quality was assessed on the Agilent 5400 system (Agilent, USA), and DNA quantification was performed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The qualified paired-end library was pooled using the NEBNext® UltraTM DNA Library Prep Kit and sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 platform with the PE150 strategy. After filtration of adapters and low-quality reads using Fastp software v. 0.23.2 (Chen et al. 2018), we obtained at least 40 Gb of deep genome skimming data.

Target nuclear single-copy orthologous genes capture

For nuclear gene recovery, we used the protein-coding sequences of six previously published bamboo genomes – Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro (Zheng et al. 2022), Phyllostachys edulis (Carrière) J.Houz. (Zhao et al. 2018), Bonia amplexicaulis (L.C.Chia, H.L.Fung & Y.L.Yang) N.H.Xia, Guadua angustifolia Kunth, Olyra latifolia L., and Raddia guianensis (Brongn.) Hitchc. (Guo et al. 2019) – to identify 737 common nuclear single-copy orthologous genes (SOGs) using Orthofinder v. 2.5.4 (Emms and Kelly 2019). We recovered putative SOGs using HybPiper v. 2.0.1 (Johnson et al. 2016). In this pipeline, we employed BWA v. 0.7.17 (Li and Durbin 2009) to map filtered reads to each specified SOG. We then de novo assembled reads and mapped them to each SOG into contigs using SPAdes v. 3.15.0 (Bankevich et al. 2012). We aligned the assembled contigs to the reference SOG dataset and used the Python script ‘retrieve_sequences.py’ to recover 737 putative orthologs for each sample. However, because our samples are polyploid (Guo et al. 2019), some so-called SOGs may have multiple copies. We therefore used the Python script ‘paralog_retriever.py’ to detect and remove potential paralogs. After this step, we retained 479 SOGs.

Alignment and phylogenetic inference

We aligned the 479 SOGs using MAFFT v. 7.505 (Katoh and Standley 2013) in Geneious v. 9.1.4 (Kearse et al. 2012). We trimmed each single-gene matrix using trimAl v. 1.4 (Salvador et al. 2009) with default settings. We then removed nuclear genes with lengths shorter than 300 bp or with >50% missing data. The final nuclear dataset used for phylogenetic analyses included 465 SOGs. All SOG alignments can be found in Suppl. material 1.

We used a multi-species coalescent-based method for nuclear gene-based phylogenetic inference. We first inferred individual ML trees using RAxML v. 8.2.12 (Stamatakis 2014) for each nuclear gene and estimated branch support using bootstrapping analysis (Felsenstein 1985) with 500 replicates, all under the GTRGAMMAI model. To improve coalescent analysis accuracy (Zhang et al. 2018; Cai et al. 2021), we collapsed branches with support values below 30% using Newick Utilities v. 1.6.0 (Junier and Zdobnov 2010). We used the resulting collapsed individual gene trees and corresponding bootstrapped trees to infer the species tree based on the multi-locus bootstrapping (MLB) method in ASTRAL-III (Seo 2008; Zhang et al. 2018). We then created 500 coalescent bootstrap replicates, each consisting of 465 gene trees (one tree per gene, randomly sampled from bootstrapping trees without replacement) for quartet analysis. The final MLB species tree was inferred from the 500 resulting “species” trees. MLB branch bootstrap values (BS) were calculated based on the frequency with which branches appeared across the 500 resulting “species” trees using the greedy consensus method (Soto Gomez et al. 2019). We considered BS >70% as strong support.

Results

Our nuclear SOG-based MLB species tree strongly supported that the new species is a member of Indosasa s.s. and is closely related to I. glabrata (BS = 100) (Fig. 1).

Figure 1. 

The multi-locus bootstrapping ASTRAL species tree shows the phylogenetic position of Indosasa fimbriligulata, which is reconciled by coalescence of 465 single-copy orthologous nuclear gene trees after collapsing branches with support values <30%. BS support values below 70% are represented by a slash.

Morphological comparison revealed that the new species is morphologically similar to I. glabrata in having small culms that are 2–4 m high and 0.5–2 cm in diam., narrow and long triangular papery culm leaf sheaths, and linear-lanceolate culm leaf blades, whereas the other Indosasa species are usually characterized by relatively large culms, leathery culm leaf sheaths, and broad lanceolate to ovate culm leaf blades. The new species can be easily distinguished from I. glabrata by having triangular (vs. oblate) culm buds, white strigose (vs. glabrous) young culm internodes, without pith or with slightly clastic pith (vs. lamellate pith), abaxial surface of culm leaf sheath with scattered clumps of brown setae and base of culm leaf sheath with dense brown setae (vs. glabrous culm leaf sheath), well-developed (vs. undeveloped) culm leaf auricles and oral setae, and culm leaf ligule with long fimbriae (vs. glabrous) (Table 1; Figs 2–4).

Discussion

Although recent phylogenetic studies based on plastid and nuclear sequences confirmed that Indosasa s.l. is non-monophyletic (Ma et al. 2017; Guo et al. 2021; Niu 2025), this new species is undoubtedly a member of Indosasa s.s. based on both morphological and molecular evidence (Figs 1–4; Table 1). Not only do its morphological characters match well with those of Indosasa s.s., but the phylogenetic analysis also showed that it and I. glabrata form a monophyletic clade with the type species of Indosasa, viz., I. crassiflora. Further comparison with morphologically similar species confirmed that it is a distinct new species, which is described and illustrated below.
