We presented a complete chloroplast genome of a new species candidate of Plantago depressa, Willd. named as Plantago wonjuenesis sp. nov, which is 164,946 bp long (GC ratio is 38.0\%) and has four subregions: 82,985 bp of large single copy and 4,647 bp of small single-copy regions are separated by 38,657 bp of inverted repeat regions including 94 protein-coding genes (PCGs), eight rRNAs, and 38 tRNAs. Number of variations between P. wonjuenesis and P. depressa can be considered as interspecific variations. Bootstrapped phylogenetic trees constructed with conserved 78 PCGs of eleven Plantaginaceae chloroplast genomes present that P. wonjuensis is clustered with P. depressa, P. fengdouensis, and P. media.
