Abstract

Background: The sepals of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. are used to aid digestion, treat liver and biliary diseases, hypertension, and neurological diseases.  Morphological  and  microbiological characteristics are the basis to distinguish H. sabdariffa. However, not many documents related to morphology and anatomy of species have been recorded or studied in Vietnam. Objectives: Researching morphological, microbiological characteristics and DNA barcode of H. sabdariffa. Materials and method: H. sabdariffa fresh plants were collected in Long An. Researching on botanical characteristics by morphological and anatomical methods. Observing traditional powders with a microscope. Implement DNA barcode. Results: Identifying botanical characteristics of H. sabdariffa based on testing; Determining and analyzing anatomical features of different parts of H. sabdariffa, which was not available in previous researches. Conclusion: The results of botanical characteristics provide a detailed, clear and thorough description of external characteristics and internal structures of H. sabdariffa for the list of Vietnamese plant species.
