Sabia parviflora Wall. ex Roxb., an evergreen climbing woody vine, is a Chinese herbal medicine commonly used by ethnic minorities in some areas of China. In this study, the chloroplast genome of S. parviflora was sequenced for the first time. Its genome is 162,054 bp in length with 38.6% of GC content. The genome consists of a large single copy (LSC) region of 90,001 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,887 bp, and two inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions of 26,583 bp each. A total of 130 genes were annotated, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted by nine species from order Proteales, which demonstrated a close relationship between the family Sabiaceae and Nelumbonaceae.
