%X Abstract Fringed lavender (Lavandula dentata L., Lamiaceae) is a species of flowering plant commonly grown as an ornamental plant for its finely-toothed leaves, bulrush-like flower spikes, and light-woolly texture. Besides, L. dentata is distinguished by the high percentage of 1,8-cineole and ¦Â-pinene in its essential oil, endowing its highly commercial value. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. dentata (GenBank accession number: MK791204) consists of 151,696£¿bp and includes a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 25,608£¿bp separated by the large single copy region (LSC) and small single copy region (SSC) regions of 82,897 and 17,583£¿bp, respectively. The genome with an overall GC content of 37.9% hosts 114 unique genes including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA (rrn5, rrn4.5, rrn16, and rrn23). Phylogenetic analysis of the Lamiaceae based on 16 plastome sequence data gives a hint at the basic structure of the Lamiaceae
