This species is listed as vulnerable in the Red Data Book of Vietnam (1996, 2007) and in the Governmental Decree 32/2006/NĐ/CP. Up to now, there has been no research on <em>Asarum</em> spp. in Vietnam.</p> <p>The essential oil from aerial parts of the plant was obtained by steam distillation and yielded 0.36% by air dry material. This essential oil was analysed by GC/MS and 31 constituents were identified. The major constituents found in the oil were safrol (42.24%), apiole (27.11%) and myristicin (6.13%).</p>}, number={1}, journal={Academia Journal of Biology}, author={Thai, Tran Huy and Hien, Nguyen Thi and Minh, Do Thi and Tuan, Nguyen Anh}, year={2012}, month={May}, pages={94–96} }
