The complete chloroplast genome of Prunus takasagomontana, a deciduous flowering cherry native to Taiwan island

Prunus takasagomontana Sasaki 1931 is a deciduous flowering cherry endemic to Taiwan island, China. Here, we first report the complete chloroplast genome of P. takasagomontana. The complete chloroplast genome of P. takasagomontana is 157,946 bp in length, which is comprised of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,437 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,145 bp, and a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,927 bp. A total of 129 genes are annotated, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA ribosomal genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that P. takasagomontana is sister to P. serrulata var. spontanea.
