Popis: Lonicera maximowiczii (Caprifoliaceae) is a deciduous shrub with great value for its decorative leaves and colorful flowers, which has massively cultivated in parks and gardens for ornamental purposes. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of the L. maximowiczii been constructed from the Illumina sequencing data. The circular cp genome is 155,584 bp in size and comprises a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 23,791 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,056 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,946 bp. The total GC content is 38.4%, whereas the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR region are 36.9%, 33.3%, and 43.4%, respectively. The chloroplast genome contains 129 genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 39 transfer RNA genes. The Maximum-Likelihood Phylogenetic analysis showed a strong sister relationship with Lonicera macranthoides. Our findings can be subsequently used for population, phylogenetic, and chloroplast genetic engineering studies in Lonicera.
