Wikipedia Abstract

Schizostachyum lima (Tagalog: Anos) is a flowering species of Bamboo. It is propagated using seeds or rhizome cuttings. In the Philippines, it is often used for making sawali, fishing rods, and musical instruments. In some rural areas of the country, midwives still use sharp knives made of Schizostachyum lima to cut the newborn's umbilical cord. The name of the Barangay (village) of Anos in Los BaƱos, Laguna is derived from this species.
