The genome sequence of Carex pendula Huds., 1762 (Poales: Cyperaceae)

<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly of <ns5:italic>Carex pendula</ns5:italic> (Pendulous Sedge; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Poales; Cyperaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 362.26 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.99%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequences have lengths of 1441.9 and 420.81 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 212.05 kilobases. 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. </ns5:p>
