Iris speculatrix, a rare and endangered plant native to Hong Kong, has a sequenced chloroplast whole genome that can provide insights into its phylogeny and conservation.
Iris speculatrix is a rare and endangered plant first discovered in and native to Hong Kong. The whole chloroplast genome of I. speculatrix is 152,368 bp in length. It contained a large single copy region (82,003 bp), a small single copy region (17,941 bp), and two inverted repeats (26,212 bp). Phylogenetic analysis of 17 species of Iridaceae was conducted. I. speculatrix was found to be sister to a group of 12 Iris species, including I. setosa, I. lacteal, and I. uniflora. The sequenced chloroplast whole genome would be useful to understand the phylogeny and to conservation of I. speculatrix.
