The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the Australian Mirbelioid pea Platylobium obtusangulum Hook. (Leguminosae: subf. Papilionoideae, tribe Bossiaeeae)

We sequenced and assembled the whole chloroplast genome of the Australian-endemic shrub Platylobium obtusangulum. The total size of the genome is 150,090 base pairs (bp), including two inverted repeat regions of 25,511 bp each, one large single copy region of 80,567 bp and a small single copy region of 18,501 bp. The genome has a GC content of 36.7% and includes 127 annotated genes (83 protein coding, 36 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes). Phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast genomes placed the Platylobium obtusangulum genome in the expected position of the Mirbelioid clade in the legume family (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae).
