The complete chloroplast genome sequence of a Betulaceae species, Corylus heterophylla var. sutchuenensis Franch, was mapped and determined based on Illumina sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome is 161,127 bp long and comprises a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,615 bp each, a large single-copy region of 89,119 bp, and a small single-copy region of 18,778 bp. It harbors 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes indicates that C. heterophylla var. sutchuenensis is similar to Corylus chinensis and closely related to Ostrya rehderiana.
