Culm leaves yellow green when young, hairs inconspicuous; 15–20 cm long and 0.7–1.2 cm wide, the blade base slightly protruding, margins bearing inconspicuous hairs; blade tardily deciduous, erect, ca. 1 cm long, hairs inconspicuous; auricle 0.1 × 0.1 cm; ligule very short, entire. Branches 4–6 with middle one dominant, elongating. Leafy branches 40–60 cm long, bearing 5–8 leaves; blades oblong-obovate, base broadly rounded, glabrous, 4.5–5.0 × 28–31 cm, veins in 10–12 pairs; petiole 1.2–1.3 cm long; sheaths bearing curve auricles c. 0.1 × c. 0.2 cm with dense fimbriae, 2–3 mm long; inner ligule a low rim, c. 1 mm; pseudopetiole ca. 0.2 × ca. 0.2 mm. Inflorescences terminating leafy branches, indeterminate; pseudospikelets typically 3–4 cm long when young and 5–6 cm long at maturity, each subtended by a prophyllate bud and consisting of 1–3 transitional glumes, having 2–4 perfect florets and a vestigial terminal flower. Rachilla internode below the lower fertile floret does not elongate at maturity, ca. 0.2 cm; rachilla internode between perfect floret elongate, ca. 1.3 cm. Perfect florets 1.6–1.8 cm; lemmas oblong-lanceolate, abaxial smooth, 0.3–0.4 × 1.3–1.4 cm, veins inconspicuous, 10–12, apex mucronate, mucro 1–2 mm long, margins bearing dense white cilia at the apex; palea 2 - keeled with a narrow groove on the back, abaxial smooth, 0.2–0.3 × 1.2–1.4 mm, veins inconspicuous, apex bifid, margins bearing white cilia at the top; lodicules 3, obovate, 0.1 × 0.4–0.5 cm, margins ciliate upper; stamens 6, filaments free, 0.3–0.4 × 1.2–1.3 cm, apices bearing tiny spines, ca. 0.5 mm; ovary glabrous with a long style and stigmas 3; nucoid caryopsis green when fresh, oblique with a relatively thick pericarp, 1.5–1.7 cm long.</p><p>Distribution and ecology.</p><p>Cochinchinochloa salta is currently known only from the type locality in Hoa Tam Commune, Dong Hoa District, Phu Yen Province, South-Center Vietnam. It grows in remnants of degraded natural scrub, on stone slopes, and along the coast.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet salta refers to bamboo that grows along the coast and is influenced by sea salt.</p><p>Phenology.</p><p>The plants were flowering from August to October 2025. New shoots are developed from August to October.</p><p>Preliminary conservation status.</p><p>An extensive survey in the thousand-hectare area revealed only known from a single population in Hoa Tam Commune, Dong Hoa District, Phu Yen Province, South-Center Vietnam. This population has no more than 500 mature clumps, all growing in heavily degraded natural scrub. According to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2022), this species is classified as Data Deficient (DD) and requires further surveys.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FC7ADCAE0DAD5A9EAA9B7477A1EB4F74	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
