Abstract

Background: Morning glory is used in the traditional medicine of many countries for the treatment of cough, and external infections … but there have not many scientific reports. Objectives: Survey the morphological characteristics, microbiological structure, DNA barcoding, and accurately determine the scientific name of the Morning glory species. Materials and Method: The Morning glory fresh plants collected in Ha Nam Province are analyzed, described, and photographed with the morphological and anatomical characteristics, the microscopic characteristics of used parts powder; analyzed by the chloroplast DNA barcode on ITS1 region. Results: Morning glory was identified as Ipomoea cairica (L.) Sweet based on morphological characteristics and DNA barcode, and data of anatomy and traditional powder. Conclusions: The study confirmed the scientific name of “Morning glory” in Viet Nam is Ipomoea cairica (L.) Sweet (Convolvulaceae).
