The characteristic of complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Chrysanthemum lucidum, one of famous insular plant and an endemic to Ulleung Island of Korea, was firstly introduced in the present study. It was 150,985 bp and contained a large single copy region (82,786 bp) and a small single copy region (18,281 bp) which were separated by two inverted repeat regions (24,959 bp). In total, 131 genes were identified and they were consisted of 76 coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. Comparing to the previously reported Chrysanthemum indicum and C. x morifolium cp genomes, we found complete inversion of SSC region in this taxa. rpoC1 gene was pseudogenes due to 1 bp insertion of poly-A sequence in the 3′ of exon 2.
