Abstract:
Jasminum lanceolaria Roxb. (1996) is an important medicinal herb with diverse applications. It is native to China and belongs to the family Oleaceae. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of J. lanceolaria. The assembled genome has a total length of 163,015 bp, with an overall GC content of 38.87%, and contained 133 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that J. lanceolaria was closely related to Jasminum polyanthum. These findings provided valuable genomic resources and a reference for the taxonomic identification of J. lanceolaria.
