The horticulturally important genus  Zantedeschia  (Araceae) comprises eight species of herbaceous perennials. We sequenced, assembled and analyzed the chloroplast (cp) genomes of four species of  Zantedeschia  ( Z. aethiopica ,  Z. odorata ,  Z. elliottiana , and  Z. rehmannii ) to investigate the structure of the cp genome in the genus. According to our results, the cp genome of  Zantedeschia  ranges in size from 169,065 bp ( Z. aethiopica ) to 175,906 bp ( Z. elliottiana ). We identified a total of 112 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and four ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Comparison of our results with cp genomes from other species in the Araceae suggests that the relatively large sizes of the  Zantedeschia  cp genomes may result from inverted repeats (IR) region expansion. The sampled  Zantedeschia  species formed a monophylogenetic clade in our phylogenetic analysis. Furthermore, the long single copy (LSC) and short single copy (SSC) regions in  Zantedeschia  are more divergent than the IR regions in the same genus, and non-coding regions showed generally higher divergence than coding regions. We identified a total of 410 cpSSR sites from the four  Zantedeschia  species studied. Genetic diversity analyses based on four polymorphic SSR markers from 134 cultivars of  Zantedeschia  suggested that high genetic diversity ( I  = 0.934;  Ne  = 2.371) is present in the  Zantedeschia  cultivars. High genetic polymorphism from the cpSSR region suggests that cpSSR could be an effective tool for genetic diversity assessment and identification of  Zantedeschia  varieties.
