Alniaria alnifolia
(Siebold and Zucc.) Rushforth, 2018 (alternative name:
Sorbus alnifolia
) belongs to the genus
Alniaria
of the family
Rosaceae
and is widely distributed in northern China, Korea, and Japan. It is an essential resource used in the construction, pharmaceuticals, and food industries. It is also used to treat various diseases, such as fever, hyperglycemia, rash, asthma, bronchitis, constipation, leprosy, anemia, and other skin ailments. In this study, we sequenced a sample of
A. alnifolia
and determined its complete chloroplast genome. The chloroplast genome of
A. alnifolia
has a circular structure with a length of 159,855 bp, which includes a small single-copy region (19,409 bp), a large single-copy region (87,628 bp), and two inverted repeats (26,409 bp). The sequence had 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes, and the overall GC content was 36.6%. The genes
