(Pinaceae) is a rare and endangered endemic conifer in China. In this study, using the Illumina sequencing platform, we firstly characterized its whole plastid genome sequence. Our study revealed that <i>A. chensiensis</i> have a typical plastid genome of 121,498 bp in length, comprised of a large single copy region of 76,484 bp, a small single copy region of 42,654 bp and two inverted repeat regions of 1180 bp. A total of 113 genes, 74 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNA, and 4 rRNA genes were identified. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that <i>A. chensiensis</i> was placed as a sister to the congeneric <i>A. sibirica</i>.Mitochondrial DNA.
