Rubiaceae is the fourth largest and a taxonomically complex family of angiosperms. Many species in this family harbor low reproductive isolation and frequently exhibit inconsistent phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, taxonomic classification and their phylogenetic relationships in the Rubiaceae family is challenging, especially in the genus Leptodermis. Considering the low taxonomic confusion and wide distribution, Leptodermis oblonga is selected as a representative Leptodermis for genome sequencing. The assemblies resulted in 497 Mbp nuclear and 155,100 bp chloroplast genomes, respectively. Using the nuclear genome as a reference, SNPs were called from 37 Leptodermis species or varieties. The phylogenetic tree based on SNPs exhibited high resolution for species delimitation of the complex and well-resolved phylogenetic relationships in the genus. Moreover, 28,987 genes were predicted in the nuclear genome and used for comparative genomics study. As the first chromosomal-level genome of the subfamily Rubioideae in Rubiaceae, it will provide fruitfully evolutionary understanding in the family.
