## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Bog Asphodel plant, including its chromosomes, mitochondria, and plastid genomes.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly of Narthecium ossifragum, including detailed mitochondrial and plastid genomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 378.87 megabases long with 98.91% scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Two mitochondrial genomes totaling 409.97 kilobases and a plastid genome of 155.31 kilobases were assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Narthecium ossifragum (Bog Asphodel; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Dioscoreales; Nartheciaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 378.87 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.91%) is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Two mitochondrial multipartite genomes of 309.19 and 100.78 kilobases, and a plastid genome of 155.31 kilobases were assembled.

## Linked entities
