Chimonobambusa angustifolia is a famous ornamental and edible bamboo species. Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. angustifolia was assembled and annotated. The cp genome is 139,611 bp in size, consisting of two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 21,799 bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,202 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,811 bp. It encodes 133 genes (110 unique), including 86 protein-coding genes (77 unique), 39 tRNA genes (29 unique), and 8 rRNA genes (4 unique). Phylogenetic analysis based on 21 cp genome sequences within four genera of family Poaceae indicated that genus Chimonobambusa were closely related to genus Shibataea, both belong to subtribe Shlbataeinae.

The whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Chimonobambusa utilis (Keng) P. C. Keng has been characterized using Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome (GenBank accession: OK040769) was 139,540 bp in length, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 83,133 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 12,811 bp, which were separated by a pair of 21,798 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contained 133 genes (114 unique), including 86 protein-coding genes (81 unique), 39 tRNA genes (29 unique), and eight rRNA genes (four unique). The overall GC content of C. utilis cp genome is 38.88%. Phylogenetic analysis of 32 cp genomes within the supertribe Bambusatae suggests that C. utilis is closely related to C. quadrangularis.
