The early Miocene bamboo fossil Ventriculmus neyvelinensis described by Bhatia et al. represents the oldest evidence of Arundinarieae's historical distribution in India. As a member of the Bambusoideae subfamily (Indomalayan origin, ~54 Ma), this fossil documents the extinction of temperate bamboo in southern India during Miocene climate shifts.
