Abstract

Viola philippica, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has great value in treating various diseases. Here, we report the chloroplast genome of V. philippica and its phylogenetic feature. The complete chloroplast genome is 156,744 bp in length, assembled from 22,346,570 reads, and its GC contents ratio is 36.26%. Its long single-copy (LSC) region is 85,892 bp. The small single-copy (SSC) region covers 18,006 bp and inverted repeat (IR) is 26,423 bp. It encodes 77 genes, including 43 protein genes, 4 rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Moreover, according to the phylogenetic analysis for a total of 12 chloroplast sequences, V. philippica demonstrated close relationship within genus Viola.
