The complete chloroplast genome sequences of an endangered orchid species (Orchidaceae).

, a species of the family Orchidaceae, is endangered in the world with highly ornamental and biological value, the morphology of is very similar to its relative species, and . However, there are few studies on the molecular biology and phylogeny of this species currently. Therefore, we report its complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence at the first time, hoping to provide a foundation for its future phylogenetic analysis. The complete chloroplast genome of was 161,750 bp in size, which contained a large single-copy (LSC) region of 90,656 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 1886 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 34,604 bp each. The total GC content was 35.66%. The genome encodes 38 transfer RNA genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 80 protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that the genetic relationship between and was very close.
