| Summary: | Ficus concinna is an important contributor to tropical forest biodiversity. Here, we provide the first report of the complete F. concinna chloroplast genome, thereby providing a basis for subsequent phylogenetic analyses of the Moraceae family. The final assembled chloroplast genome was 160,331 bp in size and included a 20,018 bp long small single-copy (SSC) region, an 88,541 bp long large single-copy (LSC) region, and two 25,886 bp inverted repeats (IRs). The total content of GC for this chloroplast genome was 42.6%, with respective frequencies of 33.6%, 35.9%, and 28.9% in the SSC, LSC, and IR regions, accordingly. Overall, the chloroplast genome was found to encode 131 genes, comprising 37 tRNAs, 86 protein-coding genes, and 8 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analyses revealed a close relationship between F. concinna and Ficus altissima, consistent with prior research results. Together, these data provide valuable insights regarding the evolution and conserved genetic features of F. concinna.
