Maesa perlarius
chloroplast genome
phylogenetic analysis
<p><i>Maesa perlarius</i> (Loureiro) Merrill is a perennial species in the family Primulaceae valued for both medicinal and economic uses. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of <i>M. perlarius</i>, obtained through sequencing, <i>de novo</i> assembly, and comprehensive annotation. The assembled cp genome has a typical quadripartite circular structure of 157,401 bp, comprising a large single-copy (LSC) region (84,599 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,125 bp), and two inverted repeat (IR) regions (each 25,740 bp). A total of 129 functional genes were annotated, including 86 protein-coding genes, 35 transfer RNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes, and a guanine–cytosine (GC) content of 37.23%. Phylogenetic reconstruction using complete cp genome sequences from related species placed <i>M. perlarius</i> as sister to <i>M. montana</i> within the genus <i>Maesa</i>. This study provides the complete cp genome sequence of <i>M. perlarius</i>, offering a valuable genomic resource for this species. Our findings establish a solid molecular basis for resolving its phylogenetic position within Primulaceae, guiding conservation strategies, and enabling future functional genomic and evolutionary investigations of <i>Maesa</i> species.</p>
