Flueggea virosa is a tropical plant of the Phyllanthaceae family, which has high medicinal value. Here, we report and characterize the complete plastome of F. virosa. The complete plastome is 154,961 bp in length and contains the typical structure and gene content of angiosperm plastome, including two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,575 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,397 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 16,414 bp. The plastome contains 130 genes, consisting of 80 unique protein-coding genes, 30 unique tRNA gene, 4 unique rRNA genes (5S rRNA, 4.5S rRNA, 23S rRNA and 16S rRNA). The overall A/T content in the plastome of F. virosa is 63.10%. The complete plastome sequence of F. virosa will provide a useful resource for the conservation genetics of this species as well as for phylogenetic studies in Phyllanthaceae.
