Characterization of complete chloroplast genome of Salvia honania L. H. Bailey (Lamiaceae).

Salvia honania L. H. Bailey is an endemic species, mainly distributed in Henan and Hubei provinces in China. The first complete chloroplast genome of Salvia honania was sequenced and assembled in this study. The genome is 151,559 bp in length and contains 132 encoded genes in total, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The phylogenomic analysis showed that Salvia honania was closely related to Salvia meiliensis according the current sampling extent.
