- The genome shows an AT skew of 63.4%.

## Abstract

We present the complete chloroplast genome of the federally endangered plant species Erysimum menziesii from Pacific Grove, California, USA. The chloroplast genome is circular, AT skewed (63.4%), and 154,668 bp in length. The genome is quadripartite in structure and contains 85 protein-coding, 37 transfer RNA, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes.

## Linked entities
