Summary description from Wikipedia:
Mexican weeping bamboo
The Mexican weeping bamboo, Otatea acuminata, is a clumping bamboo native to central and southern Mexico and Central America.
The plant produces thick stands of culms with long narrow leaves. The weight of the leaves cause the long thin culms to bend, or weep. The clump's vegetation can reach 25 feet (7.6 m) or more in height and width in its native habitat.
