Abstract: Constituting the first synopsis on woody bamboos in southern South America, this contribution provides a comprehensive overview of its 12 native genera. The synopsis includes botanical descriptions for each genus, a complete checklist of the taxa, as well as information on their habitat, uses and applications, and flowering period. Furthermore, it provides keys that allow for the identification of the genera: one based on vegetative characters, and the other on both vegetative and reproductive characters.
