Abstract Acanthochlamys bracteata P. C. Kao (Velloziaceae) and Pandanus tectorius Parkinson (Pandanaceae) belong to Pandanales. P. tectorius is a coastal plant adapted to saline and intertidal habitats across the Philippines and Pacific islands, while A. bracteata is a critically endangered herb endemic to the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. In this study, we generated high-quality chromosome-level assemblies for both species. The genomes of P. tectorius (821.80 Mb) and A.
