Abstract

Beesia deltophylla is an endemic and rare species only distributed in Xizang, China. The chloroplast genome of B. deltophylla is 157,397 bp in length, with 112 encoded genes including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic reconstruction has confirmed the placement of B. deltophylla as sister to B. calthifolia. These two species formed a clade closely to a Japan endemic species Anemonopsis macrophylla.

Keywords: Beesia deltophylla; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
