The complete chloroplast genome sequence of medicinal plant, .

distributed in East Asia region including China used as traditional medicine, which is an important medicinal plant for preventing and treating asthma. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The chloroplast genome of was 126,340 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 53,214 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 47,561 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 12,796 bp. The overall GC content is 38.70%, whereas the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.2%, 31.9%, and 43.2%, respectively. The genome contains 80 complete genes, including 61 protein-coding genes (45 protein-coding gene species), nine tRNA genes (six tRNA species), and eight rRNA genes (four rRNA species). The Neighbour-joining phylogenetic analysis showed that and clustered together as sisters to other species.
