Lasiacis divaricata (also known as smallcane and Wild Bamboo) is a plant in the grass family Poaceae. he plant's hollow, freely branching stems often grow in a zigzag pattern and support smooth, narrowly lanceolate leaves that resemble miniature bamboo. Its reproductive structures consist of open, loosely flowered panicles that produce ovoid spikelets. A key identifying feature is the fruit, a small grain that turns a shiny, distinctive black colour upon reaching maturity. Thriving primarily in the understory of hammocks and woodlands, Smallcane is well-adapted to moist, well-drained limestone or sandy soils.
