Abstract

Background: Jasminum nervosum (Che vang) is a valuable medicinal herb, traditionally used as an herbal supplement for the postpartum period. However, there is currently a lack of scientific research on this species’s morphological and anatomical characteristics. Objectives: To survey of the botanical characteristics, and DNA barcodes of Jasminum nervosum were performed for the plant identification. Materials and methods: Jasminum nervosum collected in Quang Nam province has been described, photographed, and analyzed for its morphological and anatomical characteristics, the microscopic characteristics of used parts powder, along with DNA barcoding analysis of the rbcL region. Results: Based on the two characteristics of plant morphology and DNA barcoding, Che vang was identified as Jasminum nervosum Lour., along with anatomical data and microscopic characteristics of used parts powder. Conclusions: The morphological and anatomical characteristics, of Jasminum nervosum were successfully detailed. The diagnostic characteristics of powder were also reported. The DNA barcoding was analysed. All results were useful for plant identification.
