The chemical composition and fiber characteristics of two sympodial bamboos have been studied in this paper. Based on analysis results, it has shown that the whangee bamboo is better than that of yunnanicus bamboo in utilization, because of its higher
specific gravity, better fiber length and its distribution, higher wall/lumen ratio than those of yunnanicus bamboo. Whangee bamboo is more suitable for the papermaking and panel processing used in house construction. In addition, the higher benzene-ethanol extractives of the whangee bamboo can be an advantage for anti-decay in architecture processing and utilization comparing with the yunnanicus bamboo.
