What is another word for male bamboo?
Pronunciation: [mˈe͡ɪl bambˈuː] (IPA) 
Male bamboo is a common term used to describe the bamboo plant's flower. In botanical terms, male bamboo's flowers are referred to as inflorescences. The male bamboo inflorescence can also be called a spike or a panicle, depending on the shape and length. In some regions, the male bamboo spike is referred to as the "bamboo blossom," although this term can be confusing as bamboo is not a flowering plant. Some people may also use the term "bamboo cane" to refer to the male bamboo's stem, although this is not a synonym for the inflorescence. Ultimately, the most accurate way to describe the male bamboo inflorescence would be to use either "inflorescence," "spike," or "panicle".
