Abstract
Paris polyphylla var. emeiensis H. X. Yin, H. Zhang & D. Xue is a member of the genus Paris endemic to southwest of China. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. polyphylla var. emeiensis was 164,854 bp in length with 36.96% overall GC content, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,438 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,892 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 33,762 bp. There were 135 genes in total, including 89 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated P. polyphylla var. emeiensis was closely related to P. fargesii and P. cronquistii.
