Description
Summary:Nothodoritis zhejiangensis (Orchidaceae) is a rare orchid unique to China of great horticultural value. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of this species is 143,522 bp in length and the total GC content is 36.8%. It includes a large single copy (LSC) region of 83,830 bp in length, a small single copy (SSC) region of 10,764 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) with 24,464 bp. The cp genome contains 120 functional genes, including 74 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree constructed by the maximum-likelihood method showed that the taxonomic status of N. zhejiangensis was clustered with the species in Phalaenopsis.
