The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Primula medogensis</i> (Primulaceae) and its phylogeny

<i>Primula medogensis</i> W.B Ju, B. Xu &amp; X.F. Gao 2023, a new species categorized under <i>P</i>. sect. <i>Cordifoliae</i>, was officially described in 2023. Given its recent classification, the genetic resources for this species are currently very limited. Here, we sequenced and assembled the first complete chloroplast genome of <i>P. medogensis</i> using Illumina sequencing technology. The complete chloroplast genome of <i>P. medogensis</i> is 151,486 bp in length, exhibiting a typical quadripartite structure. It consists of a large single-copy region (LSC; 83,407 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC;17675 bp), separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs; 25202 bp). A total of 131 genes were annotated, including 86 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.1%. Phylogenetic analysis of 59 <i>Primula</i> species revealed a close relationship between <i>P. medogensis</i> and <i>P. calliantha</i> subsp. <i>bryophila.</i>
