Abstract

Abstract: Epimedium qingchengshanense G. Y. Zhong & B. L. Guo is an endangered species with high ornamental value and medicinal value in China. In this study, we reported the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of E. qingchengshanense . The whole cp genome of E. qingchengshanense is 159, 087 bp in length, comprising a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) (27, 709 bp) that are separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region (86, 607 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (17, 062 bp). The circular genome contains 112 unique genes, of which 78 are protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows that E. qingchengshanense has a closer relationship with other Epimedium species.
