Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of the endangered Chinese species .

is a Class I endangered species in China with important ornamental, economic, and breeding value, especially wild This study used Illumina high-throughput sequencing technologies to sequence and analyze the complete chloroplast genome of . The genome features of and the phylogenetic relationships among Orchidaceae species were reported and established. The complete chloroplast genome is 155,447 bp long, consisting of a pair of inverse duplication regions that are 26,710 bp long, a large single-copy region of 84,184 bp, and a small single-copy region of 17,843 bp. The entire genome contains 74 mRNA genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree of 24 Orchidaceae species revealed is more closely related to .
