The boundary of the high mountain forest in Taiwan looks an extended patch of grass plain. It is in fact Yushania niitakayamensis. We call it a cat with nine lives because even after forest fires, they are still there. Although Yushania niitakayamensis, which grows in high mountains, doesn’t have pretty flowers but populates with its subterranean stems. In early Taiwanese history, aborigines used Yushania niitakayamensis’ main branch to make bow and arrows and Yushania niitakayamensis was also used to build huts. In addition, the bamboo sprouts are eatable. The next time when you get a chance to go into the mountains, use it as a bed and lie on top of it for a little rest.
