Forsythia suspensa is an important medicinal plant and native to China. In this article, the complete chloroplast genome of F. suspensa was studied and annotated. The chloroplast genome of F. suspensa is 156,404 bp in length, which has a large single-copy region (LSC) of 87,150 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,812 bp, and two of inverted-repeat regions (IRs) of 25,716 bp. The overall nucleotide composition is: 30.8% (48,103 bp) of A, 31.4% (49,193 bp) of T, 19.2% (30,066 bp) of C and 18.6% (29,042 bp) of G, and the total content of the chloroplast genome A + T content of 62.2% and G + C content of 37.8%. The chloroplast genome of F. suspensa contains 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 37 transfer RNA (tRNAs), and 8 ribosome RNA (rRNAs). The phylogenetic tree result shows that F. suspensa is closely related to F. intermedia in the phylogenetic relationship by the maximum-likelihood (ML) method.
