The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Blumea axillaris</i> (Asteraceae: <i>Blumea</i> ) and phylogenetic analysis

<i>Blumea axillaris</i> is a medicinal herbaceous plant belonging to the genus <i>Blumea</i> in the Asteraceae family. This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome of <i>B. axillaris</i>, assembled as 151,043 bp with a typical quadripartite structure. It contains 134 genes (90 protein-coding, 36 tRNA, and 8 rRNA). A double inversion was detected relative to <i>Barnadesia caryophylla</i>. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the sister relationship between <i>B. axillaris</i> and <i>B. oxyodonta</i>. These results provide valuable chloroplast resources for phylogenetic studies and resource development of <i>B. axillaris</i>.
