However, the phylogeny of <i>S. physophora</i> is lacking. Here, we sequenced and assembled a complete chloroplast genome of <i>S. physophora</i> and further reconstructed the phylogeny of Chenopodiaceae. The chloroplast genome of <i>S. physophora</i> is 151,104 bp in length, consisting of an 18,597 bp small single-copy (SSC), an 82,845 bp large single-copy (LSC), and a pair of 24,831 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome encodes 131 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the genus <i>Suaeda</i> forms a monophyletic taxon, and <i>S. physophora</i> is closely related to <i>S. eltonica</i>. Chloroplast genome and phylogenetic studies provided an essential foundation for the conservation of <i>S. physophora</i>.Mitochondrial DNA.
