Chloroplast (cp) 910-005270 genome sequences have become a useful popular tool for population and phylogeny recently.It is little known about genetics information of Lavandula angustifolia.Here, the complete chloroplast genome of the L.angustifolia has been reconstructed from the whole-genome Illumina sequencing data.

The circular genome is 153,448 bp in size, and comprises of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,632 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,588 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region hus726040als214 of 17,596 bp.The total GC content is 38.0%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.2, 31.

8, and 43.2%, respectively.The chloroplast genome contains 132 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes.The Maximum-Likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed a strong sister relationship with Salvia miltiorrhiza in Lamiaceae.

These findings provide a foundation for further investigation of cp genome evolution in L.angustifolia and other higher plants.
