The complete chloroplast genome of 'Tall Boy', × (Aquifoliaceae).

Thecomplete chloroplast (cp) genome of 'Tall Boy', an important economic plant with ornamental and ecological values, was sequenced to investigate its phylogenetic relationship. The entire cp genome of 'Tall Boy' was 157,527 bp in length with 37.65% overall GC content, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,044 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,429 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 52,054 bp. The cp genome contained 135 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole cp genome sequences showed that 'Tall Boy' is closest to Thunb. species.
