Scutellaria indica var. coccinea (Lamiaceae) is an endemic taxon in Jeju Island, Korea. We present the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. indica var. coccinea. Its genome size is 151,956 bp in length comprising a large single copy of 83,951 bp, a small single copy of 17,539 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats measuring 25,233 bp. The complete genome contains 115 genes including 80 protein-coding genes, four rRNAs, and 31 tRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis of this species with 10 published chloroplast genomes in Lamiaceae showed that S. insignis is a sister to S. indica var. coccinea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As an endangered species, Magnolia kobus is distributed in Jeju island in Korea with only about 500-1000 individuals. In this study, we presented a complete chloroplast genome of M. kobus which is 159,443 bp and has four sub-regions: 87,484 bp of large single copy and 18,783 bp of small single copy regions are separated by 26,588 bp of inverted repeat regions including 113 genes (79 unique genes, four rRNAs and 30 tRNAs). Phylogenetic analysis using chloroplast genomes showed that M. kobus is a sister of M. insignis and M. laevifolia clade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
