## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of rosebay willowherb, a plant species in the Onagraceae family.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly of Chamaenerion angustifolium, including its mitochondrial and plastid genomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 655.9 megabases and is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 495.18 kilobases long, and the plastid genome is 160.41 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Chamaenerion angustifolium (fireweed; Tracheophyta; Magnoliopsida; Myrtales; Onagraceae). The genome sequence is 655.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 495.18 kilobases and 160.41 kilobases in length, respectively.
