Abstract
Hibiscus coccineus is famous for its wide geographical distribution and the showy flowers of scarlet rose mallow. It belongs to the Malvaceae family and has greatly ornamental and ecological value. In this study, high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics technology were used to assemble the complete chloroplast genome sequence, which will provide more genomic information for studying the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship. The full length of chloroplast genome is 160,280 bp, composed of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,121 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,673 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,243 bp. A total of 113 genes were annotated, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the Hibiscus coccineus is closest to Hibiscus mutabilis in the Hibiscus L.
