Abstract

Abstract Araceae is a large family widely distributed worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Members of Araceae have a characteristic inflorescence and they also possess various morphologies. There were many taxonomic confusions based on the botanist's views on the taxonomic status of Araceae members. This review provides information about application of molecular markers in studying taxonomy of the Araceae species, especially in Vietnam. Furthermore, it includes illustrative photos of all aroids species in Vietnam identified using molecular markers.
