Goal and objectives of the project	Building a phylogenetic tree of Arisaema of the world, clarifying possible close relationships of members of Arisaema.
Main results	- Theoretical results: + Conducted field investigations and collected samples of Arisaema species in Vietnam to supplement and combine with existing data of the research team to have a more complete molecular data block for Arisaema around the world. + Building Arisaema's phylogenetic tree using molecular biology data. The analysis clarifies each phylogenetic relationship of the members in Arisaema. + The study clarifies the phylogenetic time and evolutionary history of the genus Arisaema. - Applied results: Is a database of species in the genus Arisaema in Vietnam and around the world to use for further research by scientists.
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results	- Information on the distribution of Arisaema species in Vietnam. - Arisaema's origin in the world and in Vietnam. - Adding new results on the evolutionary history of the genus Arisaema in the world and in Vietnam.
Products of the project	- Scientific papers in referred journals (list): 1. Historical biogeography of Arisaema (Araceae): Southeast Asia - central of origin and diversity. Journal of Acta Botanica Brasilica. 2. Phylogeny and evolutionary history of Vietnamese Arisaema (Araceae). Journal of Forestry Science and Technology.
