Asarum pulchellum Hemsley 1890, belonging to Aristolochiaceae family, is a kind of folk herb resource with certain toxicity.In this study, we acquired the complete chloroplast genome of crystal beaded candle holder A.pulchellum for its accurate species identification and phylogenetic analysis.

The genome is 177,905 bp in size with a typical circular quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region, a small single-copy region and a pair of inverted repeats.In total, 136 genes were annotated, including 92 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes click here and eight rRNA genes.In the phylogenetic analysis, A.

pulchellum and A.sieboldii formed a sister clade.The chloroplast genome helps further studies of taxonomy and genetic evolution of Aristolochiaceae family.
