This paper reports a chromosome-scale assembly of the *Miscanthus lutarioriparius* genome using Oxford Nanopore sequencing and Hi-C technologies. The assembly covers 96.64% of the 2.07-Gb genome. The allotetraploid origin is confirmed, and the genome structure and chromosomal rearrangements are analyzed relative to sorghum. Tandem duplicate genes are functionally enriched in stress response and cell wall biosynthesis. Gene families related to disease resistance, cell wall biosynthesis, and metal ion transport are expanded, potentially contributing to the remarkable traits of *M. lutarioriparius*.
