The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Violaceae).

belongs to the family Violaceae. It has been widely used for a traditional Chinese herb with antibacterial activity and is grown as an early spring ornamental species in China. In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome sequence of which forms a circular structure. The whole chloroplast genome was 156,501 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 26,404 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,689 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,004 bp. We annotated 131 genes, including 84 coding sequences, 8 rRNA sequences, 37 tRNA sequences and 2 pesudogenes. Among the annotated genes, 17 genes contained one or two introns. Furthermore, a phylogenetic analysis revealed that and clustered together as sisters to other Violaceae species.
