Ventilago leiocarpa Benth.is an important medicinal and edible plant.The complete chloroplast genome of V.leiocarpa Benth.
was assembled and annotated.In this study, the chloroplast genome of V.leiocarpa Benth.was a circular form Beauty Tool of 161,880 bp in length.
The genome presented a typical quadripartite structure consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 26,357 bp separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 90,056 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 19,129 bp.The genome contained a set of 127 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA Video Cables genes, and 8 rRNA genes.Phylogenetic analysis showed that V.leiocarpa Benth.
closely related to Rhamnus taquetii, which beyond to Rhamnaceae.
