The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Syringa meyeri</i> (Oleaceae)

<i>Syringa meyeri</i> C. K. Schneid. 1912 (Oleaceae) is a common dwarf ornamental lilac, native to Northeast China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of <i>S. meyeri</i> was assembled, exhibiting a typical quadripartite structure with a total length of 160,459 bp and a GC content of 37.9%. A total of 141 genes were annotated, including 96 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 19 cp genomes indicated that <i>S. meyeri</i> is most closely related to <i>S. pubescens</i> subsp. <i>microphylla.</i> These results provide essential genomic resources for future phylogenetic and evolutionary studies in <i>Syringa</i>.
