Rehmannia chingii, an endemic and rare medicine herb, has been seriously threatened by human activities. Here, we developed twelve microsatellites by using next generation sequencing method to evaluate its genetic diversity. The number of alleles per locus varied from two to four. The expected (H E ) and observed heterozygosity (H O ) and fixation indices per locus ranged from 0.122 to 0.418, from 0.133 to 0.600 and from ?.091 to ?.442, with an average of 0.275, 0.353 and ?.238, respectively. No significant linkage disequilibrium and deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were detected. These polymorphic microsatellite markers will be helpful for the conservation and restoration of this endangered plant.
