Abstract
Lithocarpus litseifolius (Hance) Chun 1837 is an evergreen tree of Fagaceae, which can be used as sweet tea, natural sweetener, and precious medicinal material. The complete chloroplast genome of L. litseifolius was sequenced and its phylogenetic relationship was analyzed in this study. The chloroplast genome of L. litseifolius has a circular structure with a length of 161,322 bp, and it contains a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs 25,897 bp), a large single copy (LSC 90,551 bp), and a small single copy (SSC 18,977 bp). There were 131 genes identified, including 37 tRNA, 8 rRNA, and 86 mRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 23 species of Fagaceae indicated that Lithocarpus is monophyletic with strong bootstrap, and L. litseifolius is genetically closely related to Lithocarpus polystachyus.
