The complete chloroplast genome of (Bambusoideae), a dominant bamboo species in limestone mountains endemic to China.

is a dominant species in limestone mountains endemic to China. Here, we characterized its complete chloroplast genome. It is a circular DNA molecule of 139,689 bp in length, including a pair of 21,798 bp inverted repeats (IRs), a 12,872 bp small single-copy (SSC) region and an 83221 bp large single-copy (LSC) region. The total GC content of chloroplast genome was 38.9%, and it encodes a total of 137 functional genes, including 89 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis shows that is highly clustered in the clade (V), sister to the lineage of var. + .
