Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome of Volkameria inermis Linnaeus 1753 (Lamiaceae) was sequenced and characterized for the first time. The chloroplast genome of V. inermis is 151,066 bp in length and comprises a large single-copy region (82,508 bp), a small single-copy region (17,302 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions each 25,628 bp. The genome encodes 87 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that V. inermis clustered with 11 other species of the Volkameria genus. Among them, Clerodendrum thomsoniae was found to share the closest relationship with V. inermis.
