Cephalostachyum is a genus of Asian and Madagascan bamboo in the grass family.
The plants are of small to medium size compared to most other bamboo. Their choice habitats are mountain to lowland forests. Species formerly included see Bambusa Cathariostachys Dendrocalamus Kinabaluchloa Schizostachyum Museums Chinese maps show a Cephalostachyum Museum in Beijing. However, this appears to be a mistranslation; the museum is actually dedicated to the diabolo, a kind of yo-yo made of bamboo.
