Abstract
Epimedium L. is the largest herbaceous genus in the family Berberidaceae which comprises more than 60 species. Epimedium sutchuenense Franch. is narrowly inhabited in the Daba Mountains of China. In the current study, we assembled the first complete chloroplast genome of E. sutchuenense through Illumina paired-end sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome of E. sutchuenense was 157,218 bp in length and the total GC content was 38.78%. A total of 112 unique genes were identified, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that E. sutchuenense was sister to Epimedium wushanense T. S. Ying. Our results provided valuable information for further phylogenetic research and germplasm exploration of Epimedium genus.
