The complete chloroplast genome of Caryopteris incana (Lamiaceae) and phylogenetic analysis

The species Caryopteris incana is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine and ornamental plant. The first complete plastid genome sequences of C. incana reported here was 151,687 bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 83,178 bp, the small single copy (SSC) region of 17,225 bp and two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 25,642 bp. The plastome contained 114 genes, including four ribosomal RNA genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, and 80 protein coding genes. The overall GC content was 38.2%. Result from phylogenetic analysis suggests that C. incana is a member of subfamily Ajugoideae, which is in turn sister to Scutellarioideae and Lamioideae.
