Abstract
Pleione bulbocodioides is an endangered terrestrial orchid with significant medicinal and ornamental values. Here, we report on the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. bulbocodioides. The circular genome was 159,269 bp in length and consisted of a pair of inverted repeats (IR 26,716 bp), which were separated by a large single-copy region (LSC 87,125 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC 18,712 bp). It contained 115 unique genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. bulbocodioides was closely related to the genera Cymbidium and Bletilla. The complete cp genome will useful for further studies of the endangered orchid.
