• Premise of the study : Fosbergia shweliensis (Anth.) Tirveng. & Sastre (Rubiaceae) is a potentially endangered tree endemic to China. Microsatellite markers were developed to investigate population genetics of this plant. • Methods and Results : Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified and screened in 32 individuals from four wild populations of F. shweliensis . Alleles numbered 2 to 5, and their levels of observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.0564 to 0.7214 and from 0.2794 to 0.7912, respectively. • Conclusions : These new microsatellite loci will facilitate further studies of the population genetics of F. shweliensis , allowing us to design reasonable conservation and management strategies.
