The complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Paris stigmatosa (Melanthiaceae).

Paris stigmatosa is a new described species of Melanthiaceae. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of P. stigmatosa was first reported and characterized. The cp genome is 165,623 bp in length and contains a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 34,165 bp) separated by a large (84,327 bp) and small (12,966 bp) single-copy regions. A total of 113 genes were predicted, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that P. stigmatosa is sister of the clade formed by P. marmorata and P. luquanensis.
