The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Sapindoideae, Sapindaceae).

Blume 1847 is an evergreen small tree belonging to the Sapindaceae family. It is distributed in South China to SE Asia and the Solomon Islands. However, the chloroplast genome of has yet to be reported. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of was determined. The total genome size was 161,091 bp in length, consisting of two inverted repeats (IRs) (28,432 bp) separated by the large single-copy (LSC) (85,737 bp) and small single-copy (SSC) (18,490 bp) regions. The genome contained 133 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The GC content of the complete chloroplast genome was 37.8%. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of and 13 related species from the family Sapindaceae indicated that was close to a clade composed of , , , and . This study will offer essential genetic resources of and provide insights into the phylogeny and evolution of Sapindaceae.
