Complete plastome sequence of Nepenthes mirabilis (Nepenthaceae): a "vulnerable" herb in China.

ABSTRACT: Nepenthes mirabilis (Nepenthaceae) is an erect or climbing (0.5-2 m tall) herb distributed in Africa (Madagascar), south and southeast Asia, North Australia and Pacific Islands (Caroline Islands). There is only one species in China. It grows in wet and sandy soils places throughout forests, grasslands, swamps, mountains, roadsides, wastelands having altitudes that sea level to 400 m. It has been ranked as a VU (Vulnerable) species in China. Here we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of N. mirabilis in an effort to provide genomic resources useful for its conservation. The complete plastome is 155,755 bp in length and contains the typical structure and gene content of angiosperm plastomes, including two Inverted Repeat (IR) regions of 26,415 bp, a Lar
