The complete chloroplast genome of Euphorbia ebracteolata Hayata (Euphorbiaceae).

Euphorbia ebracteolata is a perennial medicinal plant and widely used in China for thousands of years. The complete chloroplast genome reported here is 163,090 bp in length, including two inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,699 bp, which are separated by a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single-copy (SSC) of 91,943 and 17,749 bp, respectively. The whole chloroplast genome of E. ebracteolata contains 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA, and 4 ribosome RNA. Phylogenetic analysis result strongly indicated that E. ebracteolata is closely related to E. helioscopia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
