Spiraea
×
vanhouttei
(Rosaceae) is a frequently planted
Spiraea
species that is distributed in Shandong Province, Jiangsu Province, and Guangdong Province, China. The first complete chloroplast genome of
Spiraea
×
vanhouttei
was determined and described in this study. The genome is 155,957 bp in length and contained 129 encoded genes in total, including 84 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The phylogenomic analysis showed that
Spiraea
×
vanhouttei
was closely related to
Spiraea blumei
according to the current sampling extent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
