_Data availability_
European Nucleotide Archive: G. rotundifolium (round-leaved crane’s-bill). Accession number PRJEB69504. The genome sequence is released openly for reuse. The G. rotundifolium genome sequencing initiative is part of the Darwin Tree of Life Project (PRJEB40665) and Sanger Institute Tree of Life Programme (PRJEB43745). All raw sequence data and the assembly have been deposited in INSDC databases.The genome will be annotated using available RNA-Seq data and presented through the Ensembl pipeline at the European Bioinformatics Institute. Raw data and assembly accession identifiers are reported in Tables 1 and 2.

N2 - We present a genome assembly of Geranium rotundifolium (Roundleaf geranium; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Geraniales; Geraniaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 497.00 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.57%) is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 335.81 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 169.49 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 29 331 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
