The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Primula vialii</i> (Primulaceae), an ornamental plant

<i>Primula vialii</i> Delavay ex Franch. (1905) is an alpine species with an ornamental value. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the chloroplast genome of <i>P. vialii.</i> The results showed that it was a double-stranded, closed circular DNA with 154,897 bp in length, comprising a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,766 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,379 bp and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,876 bp. A total of 113 unique genes were annotated, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>P. vialii</i> is closely related to <i>Primula flaccida.</i> The cp genomic data will be useful for systematics and evolutionary studies of <i>Primula</i>.
