is a salt-tolerant eudicot species in the Amaranthaceae family that is widely distributed in coastal wetlands and other saline-alkali lands. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of was determined using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology. The genome was 153,163 bp in length with 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The genome displayed a quadripartite structure consisting of a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,953 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,566 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) of 49,644 bp, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that exhibited the closest relationship with . This study contributes to the pool of salt-tolerant gene species and serves as a valuable reference for further research on .
