The complete chloroplast sequence of Gnetum montanum (GenBank accession number: NC_021438.1) was determined and characterized in this study. The size of the chloroplast genome of Gnetum montanum is 115 019 bp. Including a large single copy (LSC) region of 66 697 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 9494 bp separated by a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 19 414 bp each. A total of 108 genes that were successfully annotated contains 65 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes and 3 rRNA genes. The GC content of the chloroplast genome of Gnetum montanum is 38.16%. Twelve genes contain one introns.
