Popis: In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum Yieh was sequenced and characterized. The chloroplast genome is 159,427 bp in length, and contains a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,185 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,772 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,235 bp. There are 128 genes in the genome including 83 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC is 38.0% and the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.1, 32.7, and 43.1%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of L. chinense var. rubrum fully resolved it in a clade with L. subcordatum. This complete chloroplast genome will provide valuable insight into evolution, molecular breeding, and phylogenetic analysis of Loropetalum species.
