ABSTRACT: Sansevieria trifasciata var. laurentii (S. trifasciata) is a kind of popular in-door and out-door plant around world, it is not only known as the ornamental plant, but also as medical plant. It belongs to the Draceanaceae family, Draceanaceae includes more than 60 species distributed in tropical and subtropical dry climate regions. In this study, we sequenced the sample of S. trifasciata and determined its complete chloroplast genome. The length of CP genome is 155,179 bp, includes two invert repeats (IR) regions of 26,513 bp, a large single copy (LSC) region of 83,680 bp and a short single copy (SSC) region of 18,473 bp. There are 133 genes, which includes 87 protein coding genes, 8 rRNA and 38 tRNA, and 37.5% overall GC content. Each of trnK-UUU, rps16, trnG-UCC, atpF, rpoC1, trnL-UAA, trnV-UAC, petB, petD, rpl16, rpl2, ndhB, trnI-GAU, trnA-UGC and ndhA genes contains a intron, clpP and ycf3 contains 2 intron. The phylogenetic position shows that S. trifasciata has the closest relationship with Rohdea Chinensis (MH356725.1).
