Abstract

Anemone taipaiensis W. T. Wang is an endemic herb species in Shaanxi province (China). Here, we first characterized its whole plastid genome via pair-end sequencing method. The whole chloroplast genome was 156,659 bp in size, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 78,439 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 16,178 bp, and two repeat regions (IRs) of 31,021 bp. A total of 135 genes, including 91 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes were identified in A. taipaiensis. The phylogenetic analysis showed that A. taipaiensis have a close relationship with congeneric species A. trullifolia.
