Descripción
Sumario:Epimedium L. is an important medicinal herbaceous genus in the family Berberidaceae. Epimedium platypetalum K. Mey. is a plant species only narrowly distributed in the western part of China. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of Epimedium platypetalum was assembled. The chloroplast genome of E. platypetalum was 159,088 bp in length, with a total GC content of 38.79%. A total of 112 unique genes were identified, among which 78 are protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic results revealed that E. platypetalum formed a sister relationship with E. membranaceum K. Mey. Our findings provided valuable data for future research on phylogenetic relationship and germplasm exploration within the genus Epimedium.
