Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of <i>Brunfelsia brasiliensis</i> (Spreng.) L.B.Sm. &amp; Downs

<i>Brunfelsia brasiliensis</i> (<i>B. brasiliensis</i>) (Spreng.) L.B.Sm. &amp; Downs is a perennial evergreen shrub that is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions. This study presents the complete chloroplast genome of <i>B. brasiliensis</i>, having a length of 169,062 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 137 genes, including 92 protein-coding, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that <i>Petunia hybrida</i> and <i>P. exserta</i> are closely linked to <i>B. brasiliensis</i> in evolutionary terms. This first chloroplast genome assembly is a valuable resource for future genetic and molecular biology studies of the genus <i>Brunfelsia.</i>
