The characteristics of the complete chloroplast genome for (Myrtaceae).

is a great tree of Myrtaceae. It is mainly distributed in Southeast provinces of China and Southeast Asian countries. There is no study on the genome of far. Here we report the complete chloroplast genome of , assembled from whole-genome high-throughput sequencing data, as a resource for future studies on the taxonomy and evolution of . The complete chloroplast genome of is 160,201 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region (LSC, 88,905 bp), a single-copy region (SSC, 18,498 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,399 bp). It was predicted to contain a total of 128 genes, with an overall GC content of 36.86%. Phylogenetic analysis placed closest to
