The complete chloroplast genome of L. (Lamiaceae).

The three-leaved chaste tree () is a medicinal and ornamental plant widely distributed from East Africa to the Pacific but has no complete chloroplast genome sequence. We assembled and characterized the accession from the germplasm collection of the Institute of Crop Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños. The complete plastome sequence is 154,444-bp long with 131 coding genes comprising 87 mRNA genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. A phylogenetic analysis of the assembled genome, together with nine other Lamiaceae species, identified as its closest relative with available complete cpDNA sequence. The clustering also supports the genotypic similarity of the species belonging to group of the genus .
