%X Abstract Melica scabrosa Trin. is an important forage grass of Poaceae, wildly distributed in the Northeast Asia to Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. scabrosa was obtained by de novo assembly using whole genome sequence data. The chloroplast genome is 134,889£¿bp in length, containing 80,560£¿bp in a large single copy (LSC), 12,706£¿bp in a small single copy (SSC) and 20,810£¿bp in a pair of inverted repeats (IRs). A total of 129 genes including 83 protein-coding genes and 38 structural RNA genes were identified. Phylogenetic analysis represented close relationship among Melica species. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers a useful resource for future genetics and phylogenetic studies
