Arundina graminifolia is a monospecies and a terrestrial plant that is commonly known as bamboo orchid. Arundina graminifolia can be further classified into two subspecies and one of them are Arundina graminifolia subsp. caespitosa. There are a number of significant distinctions between Arundina graminifolia and Arundina graminifolia subsp. caespitosa and this discrimination may serve as an indicator it can be further distinguished. Therefore, the findings of this study may have contributed to a change in their viewpoints on the taxonomic classification and as a a references in the future to enhance the knowledge on the species and subspecies. The main objective of this study were to define the flowering phenophases stages of the of Arundina and its subspecies based on the BBCH scale as well as to compare the phenological phases of Arundina and its subspecies. The study discovered that there are distinct behaviours that have been discovered, including the duration of the flowering lasted, the inflorescence and bud phases and the flowering stages of Arundina graminifolia and Arundina graminifolia subsp. caespitosa.
