Abstract

We assembled the complete chloroplast genome of the Australian shrub Spyridium parvifolium var. parvifolium. The genome was 161,012 bp in length, with a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,515 bp, separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 88,814 bp and a small single copy region (SCC) of 19,168 bp. The GC content was 36.9%. In total, 130 genes were annotated, including 86 protein coding genes, 36 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 56 chloroplast genes placed this genome of S. parvifolium var. parvifolium within the family Rhamnaceae.
