| Summary: | Pithecellobium clypearia (Jack) Benth. 1844 belongs to the genus Pithecellobium in the family Fabaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of P. clypearia was sequenced and analyzed by Illumina sequencing in this study. The full length of the complete chloroplast genome is 176,770 bp, containing a pair of inverted repeat regions of 39,693 bp (IRa and IRb) separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 92,500 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 4,884 bp. The P. clypearia chloroplast genome encodes 137 genes, comprising 92 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete chloroplast genomes revealed that P. clypearia is closely related to Archidendron lucyi and Pithecellobium flexicaule. This study provides useful resources for further study and development of this species.
