The complete chloroplast genome of Phlomoides betonicoides (Lamiaceae), a traditional Tibetan medicinal herb

The species Phlomoides betonicoides is used medicinally and mainly distributed in southwest China. The first complete plastid genome sequence of P. betonicoides reported here was 151,777 bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 83,205 bp, the small single copy (SSC) region of 17,370 bp and two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 25,601 bp. The plastome contained 114 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content was 38.5%. Result from phylogenetic analysis suggests that tribe Phlomideae (Phlomoides) is closely related to tribe Lamieae and tribe Leonureae in present study.
