Abstract

Gomesa flexuosa (Lodd) M.W.Chase & N.H.Williams is a new species of orchid revised in 2009. In this study, the chloroplast genome of G. flexuosa was sequenced to determine its genomic characteristics and phylogenetic relationship with other related species. G. flexuosa has a chloroplast genome size of 147,764 bp, comprising 25,757 bp of two inverted repeat (IR) regions, 83,579 bp of large single-copy (LSC) region, and 12,671 bp of small single-copy (SSC) region. Moreover, the whole genome contains 73 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that G. flexuosa is closely related to Oncidium sphacelatum.
