Summary: | The characteristic of complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Crepidiastrum lanceolatum, a member of the subfamily Cichorioideae with unresolved phylogenetic relationship among the related taxa, was firstly reported in this study. It was 152,748 bp and contained a large-single copy region (SSC) (84,022 bp) and a small-single copy region (LSC) (18,568 bp) which were separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions (25,079 bp). In total, 133 genes were identified and they were consisted of 86 coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 2 pseudogenes. Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the genus Crepidiastrum was a sister group of the genus Taraxacum in subfamily Cichorioideae.
