Bambusa albolineata (local name: Hua Zhu) is found in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, and Guangdong provinces of China, and is often cultivated on low hills, flatlands, and along streams and rivers. Due to its long internodes and flexible material, it is used as timber wood in China. In the current research, the complete chloroplast (CP) genome of B. albolineata was sequenced and reported for the first time. The complete CP genome sequence was 139,326 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,862 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,870 bp, and a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 21,798 bp. Besides, the plastid genome consisted of 129 genes; having 82 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome was 44.2%. The phylogenetic analysis based on the complete chloroplast genome indicates that B. albolineata is strongly related to B. flexuosa and B. boniopsis.

Bambusa beecheyana var. pubescens is mainly distributed in South China to Southwest China, growing on hillsides or river banks. In the current study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of B.beecheyana var. pubescens and reported for the first time. The genome is 139,402 bp in total length, include a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,936 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,868 bp, a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 21,799 bp. Plastid genome contains 132 genes, 85 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 25 chloroplast genomes indicates that B. beecheyana var. pubescens is closely related to Bambusa oldhamii, Bambusa ventricosa and Bambusa ventricosa multiplex in Bambusodae.
