%X We reported the first complete plastid genome of Aspidopterys (Malpighiaceae) in this study. The complete plastome of Aspidopterys obcordata is 160,453 bp in length with a base composition of A (31.4%), G (18.5%), C (18.2%), and T (32.0%). Structurally, the genome contains two short inverted repeats (26,905 bp for each), which are separated by a large single copy region (88,491 bp) and a small single copy region (18,152 bp). The plastome contained 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. Phylogenetic analyses showed that A. obcordata was sister to Bunchosia argentea in the monophyletic Malpighiaceae. This study provided a high-quality plastome sequence for future studies in Aspidopterys, as well as Malpighiaceae.
