Abstract

Clivia caulescens is an evergreen herbaceous flower with high ornamental value. In this study, we report its complete chloroplast genome sequence. The whole chloroplast genome was 158,149 bp in length, with a large single copy region (LSC, 86,250 bp), a small single copy region (SSC, 18,343 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,778 bp). The overall GC content was 37.91%. There were 128 genes annotated, including 86 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree showed that C. caulescens formed a monophyletic clade with C. miniata, C. miniata var. aurea, and C. gardenii.

Keywords: Clivia caulescens; chloroplast genome sequence; phylogenetic tree.
