Pothos chinensis (Raf.) Merr., a medicinal herb widely used in Yao ethnomedicine, is reported here with its first complete chloroplast genome sequence. The assembled chloroplast genome is 163,354 bp in length and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region of 103,428 bp, a small single-copy region of 6,802 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,582 bp each. The genome contains 128 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes and 6 rRNA genes. Phylogenomic analysis of 15 Araceae species indicates that P. chinensis is most closely related to species of the genus Anthurium.
