(Roxb. ex Ker Gawl.) Sweet 1825, is a shrub or tree that is about 9 meters tall in the Theaceae family, mainly distributed in China and Vietnam, and it is widely used as a green tree species in many regions owing to its rapid growth and good adaptability. It is rich in various beneficial extracts for humans, but there are limited studies on it. In this study, we sequenced and annotated the complete plastome of . The chloroplast genome length of is 156,770 bp, with a total of 132 genes, including 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes and 87 protein-coding genes. The complete chloroplast genome of contains two Inverted Repeats (IRs) of 26,077 bp, a Large Single-Copy (LSC) region of 86,286 bp and a Small Single-Copy (SSC) region of 18,330 bp. The overall G/C content in the chloroplast is 37.3%. Phylogenetic inference shows that formed a sister relationship with , along with 10 Theaceae species. The research result of will contribute to the genetic preservation of the species and the phylogenetic study of .
（罗克斯伯里变种，由克尔·高尔命名）斯威特1825年记载，是一种灌木或乔木，隶属于山茶科，树高约9米，主要分布于中国和越南，因其生长迅速且适应性良好，在许多地区被广泛用作绿化树种。它富含多种对人类有益的提取物，但相关研究有限。在本研究中，我们对其完整叶绿体基因组进行了测序和注释。其叶绿体基因组长度为156,770 bp，共有132个基因，包括37个tRNA基因、8个rRNA基因和87个蛋白质编码基因。该植物完整的叶绿体基因组包含两个长度为26,077 bp的反向重复序列（IRs）、一个长度为86,286 bp的大单拷贝（LSC）区域和一个长度为18,330 bp的小单拷贝（SSC）区域。叶绿体中的总体G/C含量为37.3%。系统发育推断表明，它与另外10种山茶科物种一起，与某物种形成了姐妹关系。该物种的研究结果将有助于该物种的遗传保护以及对某物种的系统发育研究。 （注：原文中部分物种名未给出具体信息，翻译时保留原文格式）
