Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Schefflera octophylla, a critical Chinese medicine was reported here. The complete chloroplast genome of Schefflera octophylla is 156 685 bp in length with 37.93% overall GC content. A pair of IRs (inverted repeats) of 25 965 bp were separated by LSC (86 609 bp) and SSC (18 146 bp). The phylogenetic analysis of 17 taxa showed a strong sister relationship with Schefflera delavayi. Furthermore the Araliaceae was separated into two major groups.
