The complete plastome of Parasenecio lanpingensis (Asteraceae), a new species from Yunnan Province of China

Abstract Parasenecio lanpingensis X. F. Jiang, 2025, is a newly described perennial herb found in China. The plastome of P. lanpingensis is 151,241 base pairs (bp) in size with GC content in. It consists of an 83,363 bplarge single-copy region (LSC), a 18,182 bp small single-copy region (SSC), and a 26848 bp inverted repeat (IR) sequence. The plastome contains 122 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes and 35 tRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood (ML) analysis based on 30 Asteraceae species indicates that P. lanpingensisis closely related to Parasenecio latipes. This plastome will be useful for the further understanding in the taxonomy and evolutionary history of Parasenecio.
