Phyllostachys edulis (Bambusoideae) is a temperate woody bamboo with a long history of cultivation in China. Phyllostachys edulis f. curviculmis is the latest new forma that repored in 2018. Here, we performed the complete chloroplast genomes of P. edulis and P. edulis f. curviculmis using genome skimming. The length of two chloroplast genomes was 139,678 bp, and their GC contents were 38.9%. The sequences of each species contained 132 unique genes, including 39 tRNA, eight rRNA, and 85 protein-coding genes. Moreover, in subspecies-level, P. edulis ‘Pachyloen’ and P. edulis f. curviculmis are identical to P. edulis in the terms of chloroplast genome size, structure, and composition, further indicating their affinity.
