Costus stenophyllus, the bamboo costus, is a species of plant endemic to Costa Rica.[2][3] In southern Costa Rica, it grows in forests, most typically on ridges and steep slopes.[1] It is also grown as an ornamental outside of its native range.[3]
Costus stenophyllus is not easily confused with other Central American species of Costus, in part due to its narrow leaves.[4]
