I visited that Zoo back in 2008 and remember that bamboo. I will dig through my pics to see if I also took a picture of the tag.

Re: Unknown tropical bamboo
I believe this is the same bamboo... either D. Brandisii or D. Asper.

Yes,

The blue color on some of the culm is striking! So, what do the experts say: D. Brandisii or D. Asper??? I really have to know.
