Abstract:
Philadelphus pekinensis Rupr. is a common perennial deciduous shrub distributed in temperate China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of P. pekinensis. The cp genome is totally 157,308 bp in length, including large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,457 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,735 bp, and two separated inverted regions (IRs) of 26,058 bp, respectively. It contains 134 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. The overall GC content is 43.1%. The phylogenetic analysis reveals the monophyly of P. pekinensis and P. calvescens, which is more related with Carpenteria californica than other species in the Hydrangeaceae family.
