Phoebe minutiflora H. W. Li, is a member of the Lauraceae family, while its generic relationship has been long-term controversial. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. minutiflora was first reported in this paper. The cp genome was 152,654 bp in length with four typical quadripartite structures, which was consisted of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 93,697 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,809 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) of 20,074 bp. In addition, there were a total of 112 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. minutiflora should be placed into Machilus.
