Abstract

Background: Three-lobe morning glory grows wildly in Viet Nam. Its parts, which are leaves, used for headache treatment in Malaysia, but there have not many scientific reports. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the botanical characteristics, DNA barcodes of Three-lobe morning glory. Materials and Methods: I. triloba fresh plants were collected in Cu Chi - Ho Chi Minh City were analysised, toke a photo, described the morphological and anatomical characteristics, traditional powder; analyzed the chloroplast DNA barcode on ITS1 region. Results: Three-lobe morning glory was identified as Ipomoea triloba L. based on morphological characteristics and DNA barcode, and data of anatomy and traditional powder. Conclusions: The study confirmed the scientific name of “Three-lobe morning glory” in Viet nam is Ipomoea triloba L. (Convolvulaceae).
