Salvia  species have been widely used as medicinal plants and have played an important role in the treatment and recovery of individuals with COVID-19. In this study, we reported two newly identified whole chloroplast genome sequences of  Salvia  medicinal plants ( Salvia yangii  and  Salvia miltiorrhiza  f.  alba ) and compared them with those of seven other reported  Salvia  chloroplast genomes. These were proven to be highly similar in terms of overall size, genome structure, gene content, and gene order. We identified 10 mutation hot spots ( trnK-rps16 ,  atpH-atpI ,  psaA-ycf3 ,  ndhC-trnV ,  ndhF ,  rpl32-trnL ,  ndhG-ndhI ,  rps15-ycf1 ,  ycf1a , and  ycf1b ) as candidate DNA barcodes for  Salvia . Additionally, we observed the transfer of nine large-sized chloroplast genome fragments, with a total size of 49,895 bp (accounting for 32.97% of the chloroplast genome), into the mitochondrial genome as they shared >97% sequence similarity. Phylogenetic analyses of the whole chloroplast genome provided a high resolution of  Salvia . This study will pave the way for the identification and breeding of  Salvia  medicinal plants and further phylogenetic evolutionary research on them as well.
