Abstract
Data is presented in support of a phylogenetic reconstruction of the species-rich early-divergent angiosperm genus Goniothalamus (Annonaceae) (Tang et al., Mol. Phylogenetic Evol., 2015) [1], inferred using chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) sequences. The data includes a list of primers for amplification and sequencing for nine cpDNA regions: atpB-rbcL, matK, ndhF, psbA-trnH, psbM-trnD, rbcL, trnL-F, trnS-G, and ycf1, the voucher information and molecular data (GenBank accession numbers) of 67 ingroup Goniothalamus accessions and 14 outgroup accessions selected from across the tribe Annoneae, and aligned data matrices for each gene region. We also present our Bayesian phylogenetic reconstructions for Goniothalamus, with information on previous infrageneric classifications superimposed to enable an evaluation of monophyly, together with a taxon-character data matrix (with 15 morphological characters scored for 66 Goniothalamus species and seven other species from the tribe Annoneae that are shown to be phylogenetically correlated).

Data is presented in support of a phylogenetic reconstruction of the species-rich early-divergent angiosperm genus Goniothalamus (Annonaceae)
Data provides a summary of taxa and chloroplast DNA regions and aligned data matrices that can be used for the phylogenetic reconstruction of Goniothalamus (Annonaceae tribe Annoneae) [1]
Data provides a summary of morphological characters relevant to species in the tribe Annoneae that are important for broader morphological evolutionary studies
Summary
Data provides a summary of taxa and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) regions and aligned data matrices that can be used for the phylogenetic reconstruction of Goniothalamus (Annonaceae tribe Annoneae) [1]. Data provides a summary of morphological characters relevant to species in the tribe Annoneae that are important for broader morphological evolutionary studies. Comparisons between the resultant phylogeny for Goniothalamus species with previous infrageneric classifications [2,3] enable an assessment of congruence between the phylogeny and the infrageneric classifications
