Fokienia hodginsii: is (Cupressaceae) an endangered tree species endemic to China, Vietnam and Laos. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of the F. hodginsii was determined using Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The circular genome is 127,777 bp long with 116 single copy genes and two duplicated genes (trnI-CAU, trnQ-UUG). The genome contains 120 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes and 33 transfer RNA genes. Fifteen genes have a single intron, and two genes (rps12 and ycf3) have a couple of introns. Its cp genome does not contain canonical IRs, and the overall A + T content is 65.0%. Further, phylogenetic analysis suggested that F. hodginsii is closely related to species of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana.
