That is a lovely sugarcane.........it certainly would be one of the very old varieties. I used to grow a couple of 'stumpy' cultivars in my old garden. My favourite was Badila with its thick purple/black stems, somewhat similar to yours but not as colourful.

Just found what this variety is called.  Hawaiian Hilo Buddha Sugar Cane

quick search on google shows you some ebay auctions and several nurseries in Florida selling it. Pretty expensive plant from all sources.
