CHARACTERISTICS OF MEDICINAL PLANTS BELONGING TO MAGNOLIOPHYTA WITH POTENTIAL FOR INFERTILITY TREATMENT IN KON CHU RANG NATURE RESERVE, GIA LAI PROVINCE

Infertility is an ancient condition that remains quite prevalent in modern society. As society becomes increasingly modernized, factors such as lifestyle, diet, and work pressures have contributed to the growing incidence of infertility. The use of medicinal plants to treat infertility is becoming a trend in Vietnam and other countries around the world. The Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve in Gia Lai Province holds immense potential with its rich and diverse flora, including notable medicinal plants with therapeutic properties. We conducted seven field survey trips to collect plant specimens, including two trips to interview the Bana ethnic group about their medicinal plants. In this paper, we provide detailed morphological, biological, and ecological characteristics, distribution, color images, and utilization value of five species, thus contributing to the knowledge base of medicinal plant resources in the Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve.
