Taxillus vestitus (Wallich) Danser (Loranthaceae) is a stem hemiparasite occurring in southwest China and Himalayas. In this study, we report the first complete plastome of this species. The plastome is 122,200 bp in size, which encodes 94 unique genes (64 protein-encoding gens, 4 ribosomal RNAs, and 26 tRNAs). Compared to the plastomes of the autotrophic relatives, the T. vestitus plastome is significantly reduced. A total of 15 protein-coding genes, and 4 tRNAs were deleted from the plastome.
