Abstract: The whole chloroplast genome of Camellia weiningensis was assembled，annotated and analyzed. The results showed that the complete length of the chloroplast genome was 156 490 bp，including typical tetrad structure，and the sequence was deposited in GenBank（MK820035）. Comparative analysis of the complete genome of chloroplast showed that，like other Camellia species，the structure and gene order are conservative，but there are still significant differences at the boundaries of the inverted repeat regions of the genome. Simple sequence repeats（SSR）analysis showed that the whole genome contained only fifty-one mononucleotide repeats，and they were only A/T repeat type. Phylogenetic analysis based on the whole chloroplast genome showed that C. weiningensis was most related to C. reticulata，but clusters of the four Camellia species were not consistent with the traditional section classification.
