Abstract

Abstract: Bupleurum yinchowense Shan & Yin Li was first described as a new Bupleurum species in 1974, but its classification status has always been disputed. Here, its complete chloroplast genome was provided to resolve this issue. The length of the B. yinchowense chloroplast genome is 155, 851 bp and composed of two inverted repeats (IR: 26, 307 bp), a large single-copy region (LSC: 85, 625 bp), and a small single-copy region (SSC: 17, 612 bp). The overall GC content is 37.6%. The chloroplast genome consists of 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Bupleurum yinchowense holds a distinct phylogenetic position and can be considered as an accepted species.
