The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Garcinia anomala (Clusiaceae) from Yunnan Province, China

Garcinia anomala Planch. & Triana is an evergreen tree classified to the genus Garcinia in the family Clusiaceae. Here we report and characterize the complete chloroplast genome sequence of G. anomala and its phylogenetic relationship was investigated. The chloroplast genome is 156,774 bp in length and has a typical quadripartite chromosomal structure. The genome is divided into a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR) of 27,053 bp, one small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,082 bp and a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,586 bp. The overall GC content is 36.1%. A total of 130 functional genes were annotated, including 85 protein-coding, 37 tRNA and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis of G. anomala fully resolved it in a clade with four Garcinia taxa within clusioid clade of the Malpighiales.
