Abstract
This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the chloroplast genome of Cordia subcordata, a protected species in China, native to Malesia and widely distributed along the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The genome is 154,811 bp long, circular, with a 38.01% GC content, encoding 133 genes: 88 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis reveals it clusters with other Cordia species and is distinct from genera like Ehretia and Heliotropium, highlighting significant diversification within the Boraginaceae family.
