I saw the (labelled as) "P. congesta" at Kew Gardens (London) this weekend. It was the most memorable of all the stands, with the fattest culms at Kew (about 2" diameter). According to Whittaker's "Hardy Bamboos" this is an old name for P. atrovaginata. My girlfriend thought it exceptionally nice, but agreed it was a good thing we didn't have it in the garden...
