The complete chloroplast genome of and the phylogenetic implication.

is a rare Chinese oak species sporadically recorded in Fengcheng, Liaoning, Yuntai Mountain, Henan, and Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi. Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of was first reported. The cp genome is 161,296 bp in length with a GC content of 36.81%, and encodes 134 genes (86 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes). The phylogenetic tree based on the cp genome confirmed that has a close relationship with and , consistent with the previous morphology-based suggestion that it would be a hybrid of and .
