Abstract
Bamboo (Bambusoides – Gramineae) is one of the most
important natural resource in Southeast Asia. However, bamboo identification
has many difficulties. In the area of SEP programme «Indochina Bamboos»
(2008-2010), the final objective is to update the bamboo flora of Indochine
(Vietnam, Laos, Cambodege) and to publish an e-flora including free access
keys, digital images and information about the traditional and economic use
of bamboos. During field trips in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodgia, samples,
pictures and morphological description sheets were collected in various
locations and previously assigned to the local vernacular names. We use
an informatic program, Xper2, to assist the comparison and identification of
“vernacular bamboo taxa” based on morphological characteristics.
