Abstract

Spiraea×vanhouttei (Rosaceae) is a frequently planted Spiraea species that is distributed in Shandong Province, Jiangsu Province, and Guangdong Province, China. The first complete chloroplast genome of Spiraea×vanhouttei was determined and described in this study. The genome is 155,957 bp in length and contained 129 encoded genes in total, including 84 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The phylogenomic analysis showed that Spiraea×vanhouttei was closely related to Spiraea blumei according to the current sampling extent.

Keywords: Spiraea; Spiraea×vanhouttei; chloroplast genome; phylogeny.
