Lemmaphyllum carnosum
var.
drymoglossoides (Baker)
X. P. Wei, 2013 is a valuable medicinal fern in China. Its complete chloroplast genome was determined using Illumina paired-end sequencing. The genome was 157,571 bp in length with 130 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 35 tRNA genes. It displayed a quadripartite structure consisting of a small single-copy (SSC) of 21,691 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) of 81,106 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) of 27,387 bp, respectively. The phylogenetic results indicated that
L. carnosum
var.
drymoglossoides
exhibited the closest relationship with
L. intermedium
, and this study provided new information for the phylogenetic relationship of the Polypodiaceae family.
