Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed and characterized for the endangered and tertiary relict tree, Euptelea pleiospermum . A genomic DNA enrichment protocol was used to isolate microsatellite loci and polymorphism was explored using 32 individuals from one natural population. The observed number of alleles ranged from two to nine. The ranges of observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.25–1.00 and 0.22–0.85, respectively. These microsatellite markers provide powerful tools for the ongoing conservation genetic studies of E . pleiospermum .
