A taxonomic account of the genus Thyrsostachys for Thailand, where its two recognized species, T. oliveri and T. siamensis, are among the most economically important and widely planted native bamboos, is provided. A second-step lectotypification of the name Thyrsostachys oliveri is proposed and information on the natural distribution of the genus is also included.
