The complete chloroplast genome of the monotypic genus of Bulleyia Schltr. (Orchidaceae)

Abstract

Bulleyia Schltr. is monotypic and represented only by Bulleyia yunnanensis Schltr., native to the Yunnan of China, Bhutan, and northeast India. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence and the cp genome features of B. yunnanensis. The cp genome sequence of B. yunnanensis was 159,581 bp in length and presented a typical quadripartite structure consisting of one large single-copy region (LSC, 87,563 bp), one small single-copy region (SSC, 18,714 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IR, 26,652 bp). Besides, the cp genome encoded 132 genes, including 113 unique genes (79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes). The phylogenetic analysis suggested that B. yunnanensis be closely related to Pholidota in tribe Arethuseae.
