Analysis on Current Situations of Endangered P. intermedius S. Y. Chen

We carried out a general survey of current situations of P. intermedius S. Y. Chen. Results show that P. intermedius S. Y. Chen is distributed in Dongkeng Township, Jingnan Township and Yanxi Township. It covers an area of 262.51 hm2. The distribution areas are narrow and limited. What’s worse, it suffers from serious destruction and has been withered in large areas. Besides, according to current introduction test, it is difficult to survive in other places. In accordance with Exploring the Criteria for Endangered Categories of Bamboo Species from China put forward by Ma Naixun et al from the Research Institute of Subtropical Forestry of Chinese Academy of Forestry (RISFCAF), we propose incorporating P. intermedius S. Y. Chen into vulnerable species for protection.
