The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Xylosma congesta

We sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of Xylosma congesta. The chloroplast genome was 156,520?bp in size, containing a large single-copy (84,404?bp) and a small single-copy region (16,474?bp) separated by two inverted repeat regions of 27,821?bp each. A total of 130 genes were annotated, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 36.7%. The phylogenomic analysis strongly supported the close relationship between X. congesta and Flacourtia indica.
