A new variety of native North American bamboo was discovered this year (March '07) by botanists in North Carolina. Hill Cane is the third known variety of bamboo indigenous to the continental United States.
Arundinaria appalachiana, as it’s known to botanists, differs from Switch Cane and River Cane, also native to the American southeast, in that it drops its leaves in the winter.

Hiya fred,
Just checked out Godel Escher Bach on Wiki, looks like a wicked read! There's a movie that just came out, "The Last Mimsy", that I've been waiting to see (although it didn't get the best reviews), but supposedly based partly on a book about Lewis Carroll's poem The Jabberwocky (all mimsy were the borogroves)....it also goes into stringtheory, wormholes and the like...have you seen it? I imagine it would be just scratching the surface...as much as Hollywood can.
Anyway, can't wait to get my hands on the GEB book.
cool bamboo website!
