Abstract: The first complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of an endemic and endangered species in China, Calanthe henryi , were reported in this study. The cp genome of C. henryi was 158,256 bp long, with two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,348 bp, a large single copy (LSC) region of 87,137 bp, and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,423 bp. The cp genome of this species contained 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content was 36.7%. Phylogenetic analysis of 60 cp genomes within the subfamily of Epidendroideae suggests that C. henryi is closely related to C. bicolor .<br /> (© 2020 The Author(s).
