Abstract

Liparis vivipara is a terrestrial orchid distributes in southwestern China. In this study, we reported the first complete chloroplast genome of L. vivipara. The whole genome was 158,329 bp, consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IR 27,043 bp), a large single-copy region (LSC 85,950 bp), and a small single-copy region (SSC 18,293 bp). The complete genome contained 132 genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome was 36.9%. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis demonstrated a close relationship between L. vivipara and L. loeselii.
