description <i>Salvia miltiorrhiza</i> has been an economically important medicinal plant. Previously, an <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i> mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) assembled from Illumina short reads, appearing to be a single circular molecule, has been published. Based on the recent reports on the plant mitogenome structure, we suspected that this conformation does not accurately represent the complexity of the <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i> mitogenome. In the current study, we assembled the mitogenome of <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i> using the PacBio and Illumina sequencing technologies. The primary structure of the mitogenome contained two mitochondrial chromosomes (MC1 and MC2), which corresponded to two major conformations, namely, Mac1 and Mac2, respectively. Using two approaches, including (1) long reads mapping and (2) polymerase chain reaction amplification followed by Sanger sequencing, we observed nine repeats that can mediate recombination. We predicted 55 genes, including 33 mitochondrial protein-coding genes (PCGs), 3 rRNA genes, and 19 tRNA genes. Repeat analysis identified 112 microsatellite repeats and 3 long-tandem repeats. Phylogenetic analysis using the 26 shared PCGs resulted in a tree that was congruent with the phylogeny of Lamiales species in the APG IV system. The analysis of mitochondrial plastid DNA (MTPT) identified 16 MTPTs in the mitogenome. Moreover, the analysis of nucleotide substitution rates in Lamiales showed that the genes <i>atp4</i>, <i>ccmB</i>, <i>ccmFc</i>, and <i>mttB</i> might have been positively selected. The results lay the foundation for future studies on the evolution of the <i>Salvia</i> mitogenome and the molecular breeding of <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i>.
