Gentiana arethusae Burkill is a perennial herb classified in the Gentianaceae.In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of G.arethusae was sequenced and analyzed.The chloroplast genome is 137,458 bp in length and encodes a total of 116 genes, including 71 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight Wheels rRNA genes.

The genome has a low GC content of 38.0%.Phylogenetic analysis of the genome of G.arethusae resolved it in a clade with Gentiana obconica and Gentiana veitchiorum.

The complete chloroplast genome of G.arethusae will be helpful to study the Animal Patch genetic diversity and phylogenetics of the Gentianaceae.
