The chloroplast genome of a medicinal species.

is an annual or biennial plant with important medicinal value. In the present study, we report the complete chloroplast genome data of , which has a length of 146,668 bp, including a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,059 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 79,691 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 24,959 bp. A total of 127 genes encoding tRNA and rRNA were annotated. The total CG content of the chloroplast genome was 37.7%. The maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree strongly supported that is closely related to . The complete chloroplast genome of provides useful information on the evolution and phylogenetic relationship among Boraginaceae plants.
