Actually, the Arundinoideae are not bamboos. They are reeds. None of
the bamboo genera fall within that subfamily.

Arundo is in the Arundinoideae; Arundinaria is in the Bambusoideae. I think
you're confusing the two genera.

Arundinaria are the giant canes; they are found in N. America and S. Africa.
When you read about canebrakes, they're talking about big stands of Arundinaria.
