Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of (Wall.) Schott, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb.

is a well-known medicinal plant in China. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of to investigate its phylogenetic relationship in the family Araceae. The cp genome was 167,607 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb: 26,193 bp) separated by a large single-copy region (LSC: 93,660 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC: 21,561 bp). The GC content of whole cp genome is 35.3%. assembly and annotation showed the presence of 114 unique genes with 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that ens was closely related to , and the genus was sister to the genus .
