Arundinaria tecta, or switchcane,[1] is a bamboo species native to the Southeast United States,[1][2] first studied in 1813.[3] It serves as host to several butterfly species.[4] The species typically occurs in palustrine wetlands,[5] swamps, small to medium blackwater rivers, on deep peat in pocosins, and in small seepages with organic soils.[6] The species is only known to occur in the Atlantic Plain, Gulf Coastal Plain, and Mississippi Embayment, though it was earlier thought to exist in the Piedmont and Southern Appalachians as well. Specimens from the uplands are now thought to be a separate but morphologically similar species, Arundinaria appalachiana.
