## Abstract

Schisandra henryi C.B. Clarke belongs to the Schisandraceae family and is known to have important medicinal benefits. The complete chloroplast genome of S. henryi was 146,882 bp in length, with the overall GC content of 39.45%. 124 genes were annotated, which consist of 81 protein coding genes, 35 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree constructed based on chloroplast genomes indicates that the genus Schisandra is closely related, with S. henryi being most closely related to S. sphenanthera within this group. This study provides further insights into the chloroplast genome database of S. henryi.
