Abstract
Dendrobium monilforme is an endangered Orchidaceae species distributed in Southwest China. Here we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence and the cp genomic features of D. monilforme. The genome is 152,136 bp long with 129 genes comprising 83 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes and six rRNA genes. Most of the genes occurred in a single copy, while 18 occurred in two copies. Phylogenetic analysis of a data set of six cp genomes indicated that D. monilforme is closely related to other species in the genus Dendrobium.
