The complete chloroplast genome of Pedicularis rudis Maxim. (Lamiales: Orobanchaceae), a perennial herb endemic to China

Pedicularis rudis Maxim. is a species of perennial herb endemic to China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of P. rudis was determined to be 151,443 bp long with a typical quadripartite structure, comprising two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb, 25,719 bp each), a large single-copy (LSC) region (83,119 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (16,886 bp). It encodes a panel of 110 genes with 19 of them being completely or partially duplicated and 18 of them possessing one or two introns. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. rudis was most closely related to the congener P. shansiensis.
