Is this Nuda or Not?

[CJ_IS_HERE]

Purchased a smal single runt division over 2 years ago... stays nice and green most the year and drops leaves heavily once we hit the 30s. Was told it was Nuda... in 2 years time in same planter and 10-10-10 3 times a year it put up 2 new culms... the older seasons culm seem to stay a mess after the new growth so I remove the old, smaller culms.
Wondering if this is Nuda or not... here are a few pics.

[Iowaboo]

have you taken any pics of its shoots?

[CJ_IS_HERE]

no...sorry... this new growth happened while I was away.
Soon as I see a new one...I will.

[philippe smets]

I don't think so ,


because of the shape of the low part of the node .....

I'd bet a good size pile of money that you have Aurea there.

[ghmerrill]

I think brads got it. the swelling below the nodes on the lower part of the cane...
probably P. aurea

[bambookid524]

Yeah, thats most likely Aurea. I just had a few new shoots come up from my Aurea, and they are IDENTICAL to those.
