Abstract
Aridisia crenata Sims is one of the most popular ornamental plants in China, which leads to its high commercial values. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of A. crenata. The cp genome is 156,876 bp, including large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,421 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,347 bp, and two separated inverted regions of 26,054 bp, respectively. It contains 134 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. The overall GC content of the cp genome is 37.1%. The phylogenetic analysis shows that A. crenata is sister to its congeneric species A. polysticta.
