Greslania is a genus of small perennial bamboos in the grass family, endemic to New Caledonia, with 4 accepted species. [2] [4] [5] [6]
Greslania species have woody culms emerging from short, clumping rhizomes. They generally lack lateral branches, instead growing clumps of erect culms reaching 60–350 cm (24–138 in) in height. [5]
