Cymbidium dayanum, a wild orchid species in the Orchid family (Orchidaceae), is considered highly valuable because of its long flowering period and beautiful plant shape. this website We sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of C. dayanum using the Illumina Hiseq platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The size of the C. dayanum chloroplast genome is 155,408 bp, with an average GC content of 36.76%. This chloroplast genome has containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,189 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,991 bp, and two inverted (IRa and IRb) repeat regions of two 26,614 bp. A total of 118 unique genes were annotated, including 76 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree indicated that C. dayanum is closely related to C. tracyanum in the genus Cymbidium based on 9 whole chloroplast genome sequences.Ficus formosana Maxim is an economically valuable plant that is traditionally used in Chinese medicine. Here, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of F. formosana using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. The cp genome size is 160,606 bp, with 35.90% GC content, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,668 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 20,140 bp and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,899 bp. It encodes 86 protein-coding, 37 tRNA and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis fully resolved F. formosana on a branch with Ficus erecta within the genus Ficus. The complete cp genome sequence of F. formosana will provide valuable information for species identification and phylogenetic evolution.Machilus robusta W. W. Smith is an evergreen plant distributed in the Yangtze River Basin and the south regions of China. Here we analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of M. robusta to determine its structure and evolutionary relationship to other Lauraceae. The cp genome is 152,737 bp in length and has an overall GC content of 39.2% The genome includes a large single-copy (LSC) region of 93,706 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,885 bp, and these are separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 20,073 bp. The cp genome contains 128 genes, including 83 protein-coding, 37 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete cp genome sequences fully resolved M. robusta in a clade with M. balansae. This work provides new molecular data for evolutionary studies of the Lauraceae.Peristrophe japonica (Thunb.) Bremek. is a widely distributed medicinal plant species in China and Japan. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. japonica was assembled and characterized from high-throughput sequencing data. The chloroplast genome is 151,374 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single-copy (SSC) regions of 83,395 bp and 17,073 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 25,453 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The overall GC content of the genome is 38.07%. The genome contains 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed using 23 chloroplast genomes reveals that Peristrophe form a separate group which is a sister of the genus Dicliptera. The work reported here is the first complete chloroplast genome of P. japonica which will provide useful information to the evolutionary studies on the genus of Peristrophe.The sphingid, Theretra latreillii subsp. lucasii is a common hawk moth distributed in southeast Asia and Australian regions. Although barcode analyses have been published, its complete mitogenome sequence has not been deciphered. In this study, the complete mitogenome of T. latreillii lucasii (GeneBank accession no. MW539688) was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq X Ten system for mitogenome-based phylogenetic analysis. The mitogenome was 15,354 bp in length and comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) with the typical gene ord
