Popis: Dichroa febrifuga, seen as a medicinal plant, has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, we adopted Illumina Hiseq sequencing technology in order to determine the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of D. febrifuga. The cp genome was 157,647 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,728 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,675 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,122 bp. The genome encoded 128 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on 20 complete cp genome sequences revealed that D. febrifuga was the sister of the ancestor of the reported Hydrangeeae species. The findings of the study will serve as a stepping stone for follow-up researches regarding the development of the D. febrifuga species.
