Sumario:Ceiba speciosa (Malvaceae), also called silk floss tree, is a beautiful and deciduous tree native to tropical and subtropical forests of South America. Its phylogenetic position remains unclear. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. speciosa was reported. Its chloroplast genome size was 160,360 bp, which contains a small single copy (SSC) region of 19,947 bp and a large single copy region (LSC) of 89,393 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,510 bp each. In total, 129 genes were annotated for the chloroplast genome, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. speciosa was sister to Bombax ceiba.
