Dumortiera hirsuta (Sw.) Nees (Dumortieraceae) is a thallose liverwort distributed in tropics and subtropics. It is the only species in family Dumortieraceae, which is a second basal family in order Marchantiales. D. hirsuta characterized by lacking air chamber, hairy marginal thallus and receptacles. The complete chloroplast genome of D. hirsuta was successfully rescued from raw reads generated by HiSeq4000. Its total length is 122,050 bp consisting of four regions: large single copy (LSC) region (81,697 bp), small single copy (SSC) region (20,061 bp), and inverted repeats (IRs; 10,146 bp per each). It contained 131 genes (87 CDS, eight rRNAs, and 36 tRNAs); 18 genes (four rRNAs, and five tRNAs) are duplicated in inverted repeat regions. The overall GC content of D. hirsuta is 28.7\% and in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 26.2\%, 24.5\%, and 42.8\%, respectively. This chloroplast genome will be an important sequence resources for further researches of order Marchantiales.
