Abstract

Ormosia boluoensis is a critically Endangered species that is exclusively distributed in Xiangtoushan National Nature Reserve in Guangdong province, China. At present, the population of the species is made up of less than 100 adult individuals. Here, we are the first to report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of O. boluoensis. The chloroplast genome of O. boluoensis is 175,760 bp long and includes a large single-copy region that is 74,613 bp, a small, 18,719 bp single copy region and a pair of inverted repeat regions that are 40,771 bp and 41,657 bp in length, respectively. The overall GC content of the O. boluoensis chloroplast genome is 35.58% and contains a total of 134 genes, including 89 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that O. boluoensis is genetically similar to O. xylocarpa and O. emarginata genera.
