With its nearly 200 species, the  Mammillaria  genus is the most species-rich within the Cactaceae family, yet surprisingly, few of its chloroplast genomes have been studied. We focused on the species  Mammillaria elongata  DC. 1828, a petite cactus native to Mexico and favored by horticulturists, yet whose phylogenetic relationships remain uncertain due to a lack of genomic data. We extracted the DNA from a sample obtained in China, sequenced it using the NovaSeq 6000 platform, and assembled the chloroplast genome using GetOrganelle software. Our assembly resulted in a chloroplast genome of 110,981 base pairs with an overall GC content of 36.28%, which included 100 genes (95 unique). Notably, several protein-coding genes were absent. Phylogenetic analysis using 59 shared genes across nine  Mammillaria  species and one Obregonia species revealed that  M. elongata  and  M. gracilis  are closely related, suggesting a recent common ancestor and possible shared evolutionary pressures or ecological niches. This study provides crucial genomic data for  M. elongata  and hints at intriguing phylogenetic relationships within the  Mammillaria  genus.
