Abstract

Paphiopedilum malipoense S.C.Chen & Z.H.Tsi is a new orchid species found in Malipo county, Yunnan. Here we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence and the features of P. malipoense. Its cp genome sequence of P. malipoense is 158,708 bp, including one large single-copy region (LSC, 89,452 bp), one small single-copy region (SSC, 17,692 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 25,782 bp). The cp genome encoded 132 genes, of which 112 were unique genes (79 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs). The phylogenetic relationships show that P. malipoense is sister with P. armeniacum-P. wardii.
