The complete chloroplast genome of Phlomoides younghushandii (Lamiaceae), a traditional Tibetan medicinal herb.

ABSTRACT: The species Phlomoides younghushandii is a medicinal herb mainly distributed in southwest China. The first complete plastid genome sequence of P. younghushandii reported here was 151,747 bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 83,181 bp, the small single copy (SSC) region of 17,372 bp and two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 25,597 bp. The plastome contained 114 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, four encoding rRNAs, and 30 encoding tRNAs. The overall GC content was 38.5%. Phylogenetic analysis of Lamiaceae based on a whole plastome matrix suggested that Phlomoides is closely related to the genus Phlomis as members of subfamily Lamioideae.
