Abstract

Euchresta tubulosa Dunn not only is a national second-level protected wild plant in China, but also has a long history as a source plant in traditional Chinese medicine. The chloroplast (cp) genome of E. tubulosa was 154,102 bp, consisting of a large single-copy region (LSC: 92,877 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC: 36,645 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRb and Ira: 12,290 bp, respectively). These sequences encoded 123 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that E. tubulosa is close to Lupinus species.
