Blossom-headed Parakeet is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because of its habitat loss, and declining population. In this study, we first sequenced and described the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogeny of . The whole genome of was 16,814 bp in length, and contained 14 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes, and 1 non-coding control regions. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA was 31.88% for A, 22.00% for T, 32.88% for C, 13.23% for G, with a GC content of 46.11%. A phylogenetic tree strongly supported that genus closely related with genus by highly probability.
花头鹦鹉因其栖息地丧失和种群数量下降，在国际自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录中被列为近危物种。在本研究中，我们首先对其线粒体全基因组进行了测序并描述了系统发育。该物种的全基因组长度为16,814 bp，包含14个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和1个非编码控制区。线粒体DNA的总体碱基组成为：A占31.88%，T占22.00%，C占32.88%，G占13.23%，GC含量为46.11%。系统发育树有力地支持了该属与另一属极有可能密切相关。
