Abstract
This study investigated the diversity of ornamental plants with medicinal values at the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden in Ho Chi Minh City. The research was conducted through a comprehensive survey, including questionnaires, observation, taking pictures and notes on each sample. The study identified 223 species of ornamental plants, of which species with medicinal values accounted for 55.6% (124 species). Among the identified families, the Fabaceae and the Zingiberaceae were the most popular families and each had 7 species detected. We also categorized ornamental plants with medicinal values according to different approaches, including tree morphology, layout in the landscape, shade tolerance and light-loving ability, and medicinal uses for application in the landscaping of townhouses and apartments.
