Useful aroids and their prospects in Vietnam
By Van Du Nguyen, Hong Quang Bui, Van Tien Tran, T. Masuno and Peter Matthews     (Read)

ABSTRACT:

Although aroids are best known as food plants, a large majority of the wild and cultivated species in Vietnam have medicinal uses. Detailed studies of optimal growth conditions and effectiveness for medicinal use are needed for all of these plants. Ethnobotanical and practical studies also needed for sustainable management of wild aroid populations. This paper highlights the general scarcity of information on medically useful aroids.
