Abstract:
Nanhaia speciosa (Fabaceae) is a woody perennial vine used as an important traditionally Chinese medicine. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Nanhaia speciosa was sequenced and assembled. The chloroplast genome of N. speciosa was 132,551bp in length including only one copy of the inverted repeat (IR). It encoded a total of 110 genes, containing 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA and 4 rRNA. The overall GC content was 34.1%. Phylogenetic analysis using a matrix of 69 protein-coding genes illustrated that N. speciosa is most closely related to Wisteriopsis reticulata of tribe Wisterieae.
