The chloroplast genome sequence and characteristic analysis of var. (Franch.) Rehder.

var. (Franch.) Rehder is a common small shrub in northern China. In order to study the fine nectar characteristics and water and soil conservation characteristics of , the analysis of chloroplast genome would provide theoretical basis for economic development and germplasm utilization of . The chloroplast genome sequence (accession number MW366787) of was accepted by high-throughput sequencing technology using a plant from Jiulongshan, Mentougou District, Beijing, China. The total length of the chloroplast genome is 154,438 bp, and the A, T, C and G content of the whole genome is 30.48, 31.26, 19.42, and 18.84%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis of 16 Verbenaceae plants (including ) with as the outgroup was carried out by the maximum likelihood method; and the result shows that is relatively closed to .
