It is a "groundcover" bamboo. A short or dwarf spreading or running
bamboo. I would be very afraid of it. It sounds quite invasive.

No need to be too afraid of it, as long as you put a stake through the heart of
any prunings, wrap them in garlic and bury them in a lead-lined casket under a
full moon.
I've been busy this year spreading my 7 groves of bamboo around.
