Michelia amoena Q.F.Zheng et M.M.Lin is classified in Magnoliaceae and has a high economic value. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome of M. amoena using Illumina sequence data. The chloroplast genome is 160,088 bp in length and contains a large single copy (LSC) region of 88,118 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,798 bp separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,586 bp each. It contained a total of 131 genes, with an overall GC content of 39.26%. The phylogenetic analysis showed that M. amoena is closely related to Michelia figo. This study provides important sequence information for species identification and its phylogenetic relationship in the Magnoliaceae.

Casearia glomerata Roxb. is classified in Salicaceae and has a high economic value. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. glomerata using Illumina sequence data. The cp genome is 156,809 bp in length and contains a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,888 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,039 bp separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,441 bp each. It contained a total of 123 genes, with an overall GC content of 36.81%. The phylogenetic analysis showed that C. glomerata is closely related to Casearia velutina. This study provides important sequence information for species identification and its phylogenetic relationship in the Salicaceae

Callicarpa siongsaiensis Metcalf is a drought resistance shrub with ornamental potential. In this study, Illumina sequencing data were used to assemble the complete chloroplast genome of Callicarpa siongsaiensis. The length of the circular genome is 154,144 bp. It contains a total of 130 genes, including 87 protein-coding, 36 tRNA, and seven rRNA genes. The GC content of the chloroplast genome of C. siongsaiensis is 38.09%. The phylogenetic analysis fully resolved C. siongsaiensis in a clade with C. formosana.
