has long been recognized and cultivated as an important medicinal plant. We reported its complete plastid genome for the first time and reconstructed its phylogenetic position. The complete plastid genome was 157,172 bp in length with a typical quadripartite organization: a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,436 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,222 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb), each of 26,257 bp. A total of 130 functional genes were recovered, consisting of 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that is sister to other species except in Apiaceae with strong ultrafast support.
