Abstract
Craniotome Rchb. is a monotypic genus of Lamiaceae. In this study, the complete plastid genome of the species C. furcata (Link) Kuntze was sequenced and assembled. The plastid genome obtained is 152,521 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions of 25,596 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,690 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,639 bp. The genome encoded 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome obtained is 38.29%. The phylogenetic analysis based on 37 plastid genome of Lamiaceae revealed that the genus Craniotome was sister to the Anisomeles-Pogostemon clade with strong support.
