| Summary: | Bambusa lapidea is primarily distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Hong Kong in China, occurring on plains, lower hills, and wetlands on both sides of rivers and adjacent to villages. Therefore, we sequenced and reported the complete chloroplast genome of B. lapidea for the first time. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of B. lapidea was generated by de novo assembly using whole-genome next generation sequencing. The genome was 139,525 bp in total length, including a large next-copy (LSC) region of 83,034 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,893 bp, a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 21,799 bp. The plastid genome contained 127 genes including 83 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 14 chloroplast genomes indicates that B. lapidea is closely related to B. arnhemica sinospinosa and B. teres in Bambusodae.
