Engler is a perennial herbaceous medicinal plant, which is widely distributed in many provinces in China such as Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of was assembled and characterized based on high-throughput sequencing data. The total length of chloroplast genome was 175,537 bp, including large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 98,870 bp and 23,345 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 27,161 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome contained 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and one pseudogene. The overall GC content of the genome was 33.6%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 30 chloroplast genomes revealed that was mostly related to the same genus species and The work reported the first complete chloroplast genome of , which may provide some useful information to the evolution of the family Araceae.

The chloroplast genome is an important tool for studying plant classification, evolution, and the heterologous production of secondary metabolites and protein drugs. With advancements in sequencing technology and reductions in sequencing costs, chloroplast genome data have rapidly accumulated. However, existing chloroplast genome databases suffer from issues such as incomplete data, inadequate management, and inconsistent, inaccurate information, posing significant challenges for the development and utilization of the chloroplast genome.

With the development of molecular pharmacognosy, the advantages of DNA molecular markers in the identification of original plants of Chinese medicinal materials are becoming increasingly significant. To compensate for the limitations of existing markers in the quality supervision of Chinese medicinal materials, our team has independently designed a new molecular marker named DNA signature sequence(DSS). This marker is a nucleotide sequence that only appears in a specific taxonomic unit, with a length of 40 bp and high identification accuracy.
