Description
Summary:Nepeta hemsleyana Oliver ex Prain (1891) is one of the aromatic Tibetan herbs used to treat convulsions. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of N. hemsleyana was analyzed and is presented here for the first time. The assembled genome, 152,171 bp in length, contained a large single-copy region (82,214 bp) and a small single-copy region (17,605 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (25,676 bp). A total of 131 genes were identified, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis also confirmed the early divergence of N. hemsleyana from other species in subtribe Nepetinae.
