Abstract
Pemphis acidula is a rare shrub in China and valued for its hard wood, bonsai production, and scientific research. Growing on beaches and in mangrove habitats, P. acidula populations are threatened by the rapid coastal reclamation and pollution around the world. In this study, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of P. acidula as a resource for future genetic studies. Its chloroplast genome was 160,054 bp in size, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,785 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,883 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,693 bp each. A total of 132 genes were predicted. Phylogenetic analysis showed a close relationship between P. acidula and Punica granatum, both are members of the family Lythraceae.
