| Summary: | Phoenix canariensis Chabaud is a vital ornamental and widely planted in the urban landscape of China. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) of P. canariensis, which is 158,477 bp in length, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 86,189 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,704 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 27,292 bp inserted between LSC and SSC. 132 genes are encoded, including 86 protein-encoding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 38 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 37.22%, wherein the corresponding values in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.3%, 30.79%, and 42.35%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that P. canariensis is sister to P. dactylifera with strong bootstrap support.
