The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Camellia hamyenensis</i> Ninh &amp; Le (Theaceae)

Camellia hamyenensis Ninh & Le is a yellow tea species endemic to Vietnam. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of this species was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The 156,613-bp plastome has a GC content of 37.32% and comprises an 86,187-bp large single-copy region, an 18,276-bp small single-copy region, and two 26,075-bp inverted repeat regions. It contains 134 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. hamyenensis clustered with C. flava, C. huulungensis, and C. tamdaoensis. These results provide useful resources for future phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of the genus Camellia.
