Abstract

We report complete chloroplast genome (plastome) sequences of Stylidium debile (150,105 bp) and Stylidium petiolare (150,998 bp). Both plastomes had the typical quadripartite structure, with large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions. Both plastomes have lost the rps19 and ycf15 CDS genes, and had infA-like, rps22-like, and rps7-like pseudogenes. Moreover, IR regions were expanded by having trnHGUG tRNA and the rps22-like pseudogene. Plastome phylogenomic analyses showed that the two Stylidium species formed a monophyletic clade (BS = 100), sister to the Argophyllaceae (BS = 86/83). Sequence differences between the two Stylidium plastomes were 5011 sites, including 2166 variable sites and 2845 indels, with the petA-psbJ spacer the most variable region, followed by the trnKUUU-matK intron and trnGUUG-rps16 spacer.
