May we assume that you are unable to touch it? I would always do an 'up culm' rub when checking out an unknown bamboo that had a sulcus. Rough on the up and it is likely an Aureosulcata clan member, then if that checks out what is the coloration of the culm.

It won't come out of that container (water tank?) intact, not unless the lip is removed.

That is true. It needs liberating from that metal container.
