Hypericum monogynum
L. is an important medicinal and ornamental plant which belongs to the genus Hypericum in the Guttiferae family. The partial chloroplast genome sequence of H. monogynum has been presented in this study. The assembled partial chloroplast genome (cpDNA) was 120,005 bp in size, with an overall 36.96% GC content. It is 70 genes that are included in the chloroplast genome of Hypericum monogynum in this study, which are consisted of 33 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, as well as 7 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that Hypericum monogynum is separated to other species in Guttiferae family, and it might well function as an external group of Guttiferae family.
