The complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Aconitum volubile var. pubescens, an important and popular traditional medicinal plant species for Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber, is determined in this study. The cpDNA of A. volubile var. pubescens was 155,872 bp in length with 38.12% GC content that composed an 86,348 bp large single-copy (LSC), a 16,944 bp small single-copy (SSC), and a pair of 26,290 bp inverted repeats (IRA and IRB). The cpDNA of A. volubile var. pubescens encodes 131 predicted unique genes including 86 protein-encoding (CDS) genes, 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the complete cpDNA sequence could be applicable as a super barcode to discriminate A. volubile var. pubescens from its closely related species and provides diverse information to investigate molecular DNA markers for the Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber.
