Abstract
Lonicera acuminata Wall. is a medicinal and edible homologous plant in folk medicine that displays excellent pharmacological activities. However, the phylogenetic relationship between L. acuminata and other related family members remains unclear. In this study, we assembled the chloroplast genome of L. acuminata. The circular chloroplast genome was 154,282 bp in size, including a large single-copy region of 88,373 bp and a small single-copy region of 18,455 bp, which were separated by two inverted repeat regions (23,727 bp each). A total of 128 genes were predicted, including 8 ribosomal RNAs, 37 transfer RNAs and 83 protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that L. acuminata was clustered together with L. pampaninii, L. macranthoides and L. hypoglauca.
