Abstract
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.
Keywords: Healing potential, medicinal plants, infertility, vascular plants, Kon Chu Rang.
1. Introduction
The use of plants in traditional medicine
dates back thousands of years, with knowledge
passed down through generations to the present
day. Research into the pharmacological effects
of medicinal plants has led to the discovery
of numerous new drugs and has greatly
contributed to the advancement of modern
medicine [1]. Medicinal plants are considered
an economically important resource within
natural biodiversity. The utilization of plants
for human healthcare is not only beneficial
for medical practices but also plays a
significant role in species conservation and
the diversification of medicinal plant genetic
resources [2]. Traditional medicine relies
heavily on the availability of plant resources
and a long-standing repository of knowledge,
