The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Hemiboea subacaulis</i> var. <i>jiangxiensis</i> Z. Y. Li 1983 (Gesneriaceae), an endemic species in China

The complete chloroplast genome of a Chinese endemic species <i>Hemiboea subacaulis</i> var. <i>jiangxiensis</i> was reported and characterized. The length of chloroplast genome is 153,311 bp, with 37.6% GC content. It has a typical quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy region (LSC, 84,287 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,094 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,465 bp). Totally, 133 unique genes were predicted, including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis and genetic distance revealed this species is sister to its typic <i>H. subacaulis</i> var. <i>subacaulis</i>. This study offers novel genetic data for the molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of the <i>Hemiboea</i>.
