Popis: Althaea rosea is a medicinal plant traditionally used in anti-inflammation. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of A. rosea to investigate its phylogenetic relationship. The cp genome of A. rosea was 160,189 bp in length with 37.0% overall GC content, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,046 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 21,055 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,544 bp. The cp genome contained 128 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole cp genome sequences showed that A. rosea is closest to A. officinalis, and Althaea had a close relationship with Gossypium in Malvaceae.
