Abstract

Salvia tiliifolia Vahl is native to Central America and considered as an invasive plant in Mexico, the United States, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Australia. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of S. tiliifolia was 150,836 bp in length, which contained a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,129 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,533 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) region of 25,587 bp each. The genome harbored 130 genes, including 85 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.99%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that S. tiliifolia is closely related to the species of Salvia chanryoenica.

Keywords: Salvia tiliifolia; complete chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
