Dataset on ITS and some chloroplast DNA regions of Blume in Vietnam.

Species of the genus have the potential to be natural medicines and have industrial fibre production uses. Many species of this genus are morphologically similar and are difficult to distinguish, especially when their morphology is distorted. This dataset includes sequence information of several DNA regions isolated from the genome of , namely ITS (from the nuclear genome), , trnL-trnF, trnH-psbA, and (from the chloroplast genome) and phylogenetic analysis results based on the isolated sequences. On the phylogenetic tree based on the matK gene sequence, B. holosericea is grouped with with a bootstrap coefficient of 100%. In the phylogenetic tree based on the trnH-psbA spacer region sequences, was grouped with B. clidemioides (a bootstrap coefficient of 96%). In the phylogenetic tree based on the gene sequences, was grouped with (a bootstrap coefficient of 100%). In the phylogenetic tree based on the ITS region sequences, was grouped with B (a bootstrap coefficient of 73%), and based on the trnL-trnF spacer region, was grouped with (a bootstrap coefficient of 16%). Two genes, and and the trnH-psbA region from the chloroplast genome, are potential DNA barcode candidates that could aid in the species identification of . This dataset the first report on the ITS, , trnL-trnF, trnH-psbA, and sequences and the phylogeny of
