The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Philodendron hederaceum</i> (Jacq.) Schott 1829 (Alismatales: Araceae)

<i>Philodendron hederaceum</i> (Jacq.) Schott 1829, a species of the Araceae family, is a foliage plant of ornamental value. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Philodendron hederaceum</i> was obtained by the <i>de novo</i> assembly of NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina Co., San Diego, CA) paired-end short reads and Oxford Nanopore long reads. The complete chloroplast genome of <i>P. hederaceum</i> was 168,609 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 94,393 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 25,774 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 24,221 bp. The genome contained a total of 129 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis of <i>P. hederaceum</i> with 19 related species and two outgroup species revealed the closest taxonomical relationship with <i>Philodendron lanceolatum</i> in the Araceae family.
