Himalayacalamus is a newly-erected genus of mountain clumping bamboos. They are found growing at lower altitudes of the Himalaya.

The genus is often confused with Drepanostachyum. To the difference of Drepanostachyum, which have many equal branches, Himalayacalamus species have one dominant branch.
