Abstract

Abstract: Cymbidium maguanense is a valuable orchid endemic to China, with delicate smelling, ivory white flower, and showy yellow labellum. Herein, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of C. maguanense . This chloroplast genome was 156, 530 bp in length. It presented a typical structure including a large single-copy region (LSC, 85, 112 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 17, 874 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26, 772 bp). It contained 138 genes, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA with an average GC content of 36.8%. Besides, the phylogenetic analysis showed that C. maguanense displayed a closer kinship to C. eburneum in the section Eburnea under subgenus Cymbidium . This chloroplast genome will provide a reference for future studies on species evolution, germplasm resources utilization, and genetic engineering of genus Cymbidium .
