Comparative analysis of complete chloroplast genomes of <i>Flemingia prostrata</i> and <i>Flemingia macrophylla</i>, two commonly used medicinal plants in southern China.

ABSTRACT: Flemingia prostrata and Flemingia macrophylla, belonging to the genus Flemingia, are ethnomedicinal plants that contain valuable medicinal and nutritional compounds. However, their medicinal materials are frequently confused in the Chinese medicinal materials market. Moreover, molecular genomic resources for this genus remain limited, which hinders phylogenetic studies. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of F. macrophylla and F. prostrata were sequenced to enable genome comparison and phylogenetic analysis. Both cp genomes exhibited typical quadripartite structures, with genome sizes of 152,937 bp for F. macrophylla and 153,033 bp for F. prostrata. Each genome consisted of a large single copy (LSC) region (83,594 and 83,701
