The completed chloroplast genome of Gastrodia elata Blume (G. elata) from Korea was determined in this study. The cpDNA is 35,230 bp in length and lacked the large and small single copy (LSC and SSC) regions, due to the lost inverted repeat (IR). The overall AT content is 73.30%, and the cpDNA contains 20 protein-coding genes, 5 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. Remarkably, the Korean G. elata cp genome was 74 bp smaller than that of the Chinese G. elata. It revealed substantial sequence variants 495 SNPs and 75 InDels between the two G. elata genomes.
