Abstract
Potentilla fragarioides var. major Maxim. distributed in East Asia has been discussed about its scientific name. To clarify its phylogenetic position, we presented first complete chloroplast genome of P. fragarioides var. major which is 156,440 bp long and has four subregions: 85,784 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,616 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 26,020 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 129 genes (84 coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 36.9% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.8%, 30.7%, and 42.7%, respectively. Phylogenetic trees show that P. fragarioides var. major is sister to P. freyniana with high bootstrap values, suggesting further phylogenetic and morphological researches about the two species.
