The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hippeastrum rutilum (Amaryllidoideae)

Hippeastrum rutilum is one of the world's important ornamental plants. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of H. rutilum by whole-genome data. The whole cp genome is 158,357 bp in length, consisting of two inverted repeat regions (IR, 26,817 bp), one large single-copy region (LSC, 86,451 bp), and one small single-copy region (SSC, 18,272 bp). A total of 133 genes annotated for the chloroplast genome, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis pointed to that H. rutilum was closely related to Narcissus poeticus and Lycoris radiata.
