Abstract
Cyclocodon lancifolius (Roxb.) Kurz is a popular food and traditional folk medicine with highly economic value in China. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. lancifolius was 167,026 bp in length, which contained a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,648 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 8044 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) region of 37,167 bp. The overall GC content was 38.12%. The genome harbored 24 genes, including 12 protein-coding genes, 8 tRNA genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. lancifolius is closely related to the species of Codonopsis minima and Platycodon grandiflorus.
