I've seen it called 'Pele's Smoke' and 'Violaceum'. Logee's has it called 'Purple Sugarcane', lol. Supposedly, it is sweeter also!

The old stems on the regular variety of sugarcane look like the one you linked to. At least the older canes on the one in our greenhouse do. I like the plant, but watch out for the little hairs where the blade meets the stalk! They can be painful!
