Stellera chamaejasme is a toxic perennial herb found in open and dry places in East Asia and has the potential for new drugs for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cutaneous wound-healing purposes. Here, we present the complete chloroplast genome of S. chamaejasme. Its length is 173,381 bp and has four subregions; 86,769 bp of large-single-copy and 2,858 bp of small-single-copy regions are separated by 41,877 bp of inverted repeat regions, including 135 genes (89 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, and 38 tRNAs). Phylogenetic trees show that S. chamaejasme is a sister to Daphne kiusiana, supporting morphological affinity of the two species.
