Euryodendron excelsum is a critically endangered tertiary relict plant endemic to China. It has only one population remaining in Ba Jia Zhen of Yangchun, Guangdong. In this study, we discovered 25 microsatellite markers from E. excelsumusing a Fast Isolation by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism of Sequences COntaining Repeats (FIASCO) protocol. Thirteen loci demonstrated polymorphisms, with the number of alleles per locus ranging from 2 to 13. Values for observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.176 to 1.000 and from 0.261 to 0.889, respectively. Three loci (ZXM-17, ZXM-54, and ZXM-92) were found to significantly deviate from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In addition, five of 13 loci could be successfully cross-amplified in Ternstroemia gymnanthera. These microsatellite loci may help to further survey the adaptive evolution and genetic variation of E. excelsum for guiding its conservation.
