In our study, we obtained the complete chloroplast genome of <i>M</i>. <i>scutellata</i> with a length of 124,082 bp. The total GC content of the entire chloroplast genome of <i>M</i>. <i>scutellata</i> was 33.9%. Among the 110 unique genes in the circular genome, 30 tRNA, 4 rRNA, and 76 protein-coding genes were successfully annotated. A phylogenetic tree constructed using common protein-coding genes revealed that <i>M</i>. <i>scutellata is</i> closely related to <i>M. truncatula</i> from the Fabaceae family.Mitochondrial DNA.
