The first complete chloroplast genome for the species-rich genus <i>Anthemis</i> (Asteraceae)

<i>Anthemis</i> L. 1753 is a species-rich genus of Asteraceae. It includes species of economic value as ornamental, edible and medicinal plants. We report here the complete chloroplast genome of <i>Anthemis cretica</i> subsp. <i>calabrica</i> (Arcang.) R. Fern. 1975, the first chloroplast genome of any <i>Anthemis</i> species. For the scope, we have used long reads obtained with Oxford Nanopore technology. The assembled plastome is 149,509 bp long and is subdivided in a large single-copy region (LSC, 82,317 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,212 bp) and two inverted repeat regions (IR: 24,490 bp). It comprehends 136 predicted genes, of which 92 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The overall GC content is 37.54%. The position of <i>A. cretica</i> subsp. <i>calabrica</i> in the phylogenetic tree is congruent with those of previous analyses based on a few chloroplast or nuclear regions.
