Abstract:
Medicinal plants play an important role in biodiversity research in Vietnam. The traditional Vietnamese medicine consists of Legitimate Traditional Medicine and Local Hereditary Medicine. The first one is in continual development, while the later one, which is the medicine of the ancient Viet people and the actual ethnic minority groups, is at risk of sinking into oblivion. The Local Hereditary Medicine should therefore at an early date be officially reconized and institutionalized. The investitation of plant resources, genetic conservation, cultivation technology, efficient use, etc... should be boosted toward a sustainable development of the ethno-medicinal plants
