Abstract
The Bitter Leaf (Vernonia amygdalina Delile, Asteraceae) originates in Africa and has been brought to Vietnam recently. Nowadays the plant is grown and used nationwide. However, there are some confusions between this kind of plant and other herbals. In Vietnam there has not been any detailed research on this species; therefore, studying the Bitter Leaf,which is planted in Vietnam, is really necessary to differentiate it from other herbs, avoiding confusion and using it more effectively. This article presents some initial studies of phytochemical composition, features, microsurgery and botanical powder of Vernonia amygdalina being grown in Danang, Vietnam.
