is a small genus of mainly perennial herbs in the family Commenlinaceae, comprising about six species native to Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Papuasia, and southern China. An ideal alternative plant for groundcover or rooftop greenery, the lack of genetic resources have impeded further studies on and thus its utilization. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome of , assembled from Illumina paired-end genome resequencing data. The assembled chloroplast genome was 170,870 bp in length, comprising a large single-copy (LSC) region of 97,374 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 20,224 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,636 bp each. A total of 132 genes were predicted with an overall GC content of 34.53%. , belonging to the order Commelinales, was well separated from species of other orders of Arecales, Poales, and Zingiberales, with high support.
