| Summary: | Lonicera fulvotomentosa Hsu et S. C. Cheng is widely used as an edible and medicinal food in China and also displays excellent pharmacological activities. The phylogenetic relationship between L. fulvotomentosa and other family members remains unclear. In this work, we assembled the cp genome of L. fulvotomentosa using the high-throughput Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The circular cp genome is 155,102 bp in size, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,906 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,628 bp, which were separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions (23,784 bp each). A total of 129 genes were predicted, including eight ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 39 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 82 protein-coding genes (PCGs). Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis revealed that L. fulvotomentosa formed a different clade from other two congeneric species (Lonicera confuse and Lonicera japonica). This study provides useful information for future genetic study of L. fulvotomentosa.
