Reboulia hemisphaerica (L.) Raddi is a member of family Aytoniaceae, the third basal group in order Marchantales. Here, we presented complete chloroplast genome of R. hemisphaerica (Genbank accession is MK477551) which is 122,596 bp long and has four subregions: 82,421 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 19,951 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 10,112 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 132 genes (87 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 36 tRNAs). The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 28.8% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 26.4%, 24.6%, and 42.7%, respectively. Phylogenetic trees with ten chloroplast genomes show phylogenic position of R. hemisphaerica clearly which is clustered with Dumortiera hirsuta. The chloroplast genome will provide high-resolution phylogeny of liverworts in near future.
