The complete chloroplast genome of a medical herb, Potentilla parvifolia Fisch. (Rosaceae), from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China

Potentilla parvifolia Fisch. (Rosaceae) is one of the genuine medicinal materials in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. Here we report the first chloroplast (cp) genome of P. parvifolia using Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform. The length of its complete cp genome is 152,898 bp, containing four sub-regions; a large single copy region (LSC) of 84,160 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,128 bp are separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,305bp. The complete cp genome of P. parvifolia contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the cp genome is 37.2%.
