The complete plastid genome of (Poaceae, Bambusoideae).

is oligotypic genus of Bambusinae, while its phylogenetic position had been unclear. Here, the complete plastid genome of the type species, , was sequenced and analyzed in this work. The complete genome is a typical quadripartite structure with 139,522 bp in length, comprising of a large single-copy region (LSC, 83,032 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 12,892 bp), and a pair of invert repeats regions (IR, 21,799 bp). The genome contains 138 genes, 89 protein-coding genes, 41 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The GC content of genome was 38.9%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated was sister to within Bambusinae.
