Abstract: Dendrobium thyrsiflorum H. G. Reichenbach ex André is an endemic herb with ornamental and medicinal orchid value distributed in Southeast of Yunnan of China. Here, we report and characterize the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of D. thyrsiflorum in order to provide genomic resources helpful for its identification, conservation and utilization. The complete cp genome of D. thyrsiflorum is 160,123 bp, including one large single-copy region (LSC, 88,001), one small single-copy region (SSC, 21,142), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 25,490). The cp genome contains 143 genes, consisting of 110 unique genes (80 protein-coding genes, 26 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAS). The phlyogenetic relationships show that D. thyrsiflorum is closely related to other species of Dendrobium .<br />Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.<br /> (© 2019 The Author(s).
