The complete chloroplast genome of Boehmeria tricuspis, a species exhibiting facultative apomixis, was sequenced. The circular genome spans 157,765 bp, comprising a large single-copy 84,524 bp, a small single-copy 18,385 bp, and two inverted repeat regions 27,428 bp each. The genome encodes 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis robustly resolves B. tricuspis as sister to B. japonica. Four apomictic taxa form a strongly supported clade, highlighting the plastome as critical markers for resolving cryptic diversity in apomictic complexes. This study provides essential genomic resources for clarifying evolutionary relationships within Boehmeria.
