Note: Two species of bamboo have been planted by the agriculturists around Sargodha. One of these is Denderocalamus strictus and the other one is yet to be identified, although it is indicated as Denderocalamus by the Forest Botanist. Denderocalamus strictus is a tropical species and its extreme limit is the Margalla Hills in Rawalpindi District. It also grows naturally in the salt range. Forest Department, Punjab has been trying this bamboo off and on in irrigated plantations and a few rumanents can still be seen in the Daphar, Changa Manga and Chichawatni irrigated plantations.
