Here is an index of bamboo species maintained by American Bamboo Society.
Unfortunately, the sun tolerance information isn't very helpful. Most Bamboo are rated #5 for sun tolerance, and that is also the maximum rating. I want to see a short list of the MOST sun tolerant bamboos.
And who can you believe? Bamboo Texas suggests Otatea Acuminata Aztecorum as very heat and drought tolerant. ABS lists it as only having sun tolerance of 4, which is below average for bamboo. ABS lists a similar species, Otatea Acuminata ssp. Acuminata, noting it is slightly smaller and more delicate looking than Aztecorum, but has a sun tolerance of 5.
