The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Aeschynanthus acuminatus</i> Wall. ex A. DC., a Yao medicinal plant in China
The Yao ethnomedicine "Xiaobai-beifeng" uses Aeschynanthus acuminatus, yet its chloroplast genome was uncharacterized. We report the first complete chloroplast genome (153,158 bp), a typical quadripartite structure encoding 125 unique genes. Phylogenomic analysis places A. acuminatus as sister to Lysionotus. This study provides a genomic resource for molecular identification and conservation of this medicinal plant.
