| Summary: | Camellia gauchowensis is an economic woody edible oil tree species with high yield per unit area and high ornamental value, which is commonly cultivated in the south of China. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. gauchowensis was assembled and annotated based on the Illumina pair-end sequencing. The whole cp genome of C. gauchowensis is 157,004 bp in size and comprises of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,657 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,297 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,025 bp each. It encodes a total of 129 genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 5 ribosomal RNA genes, and 43 transfer RNA genes. The neighbor-joining phylogenetic analysis shows that C. gauchowensis is evolutionarily closest to C. cuspidata.
