Indocalamus is a genus of about 35 species of flowering plants in the grass family Poaceae, native to China, Vietnam and Japan.[3][2][4] They are quite small evergreen bamboos normally up to 2 m (6.6 ft) in height, initially forming clumps and then spreading to form larger thickets. They have thick, glossy leaves.[5]

Some species were formerly included in Sasa and Sasamorpha.

I. latifolius, I. solidus and I. tessellatus are found in cultivation in temperate regions, being very hardy down to −15 °C (5 °F).[5]
