Abstract

Rubus is the most diverse genus in the Rosaceae family, possessing substantial global ecological, social, and economic value. The Central Highlands of Vietnam is a critical area for biodiversity conservation and home to numerous recorded Rubus species. Through transect surveys along elevational gradients, the current distributions of Rubus species in this region were updated. A total of 12 Rubus species were recorded, including two newly introduced species. Nine species previously documented have no longer been observed. Brambles in the Central Highlands were commonly found along roadsides, mountain passes, and windy slopes above 1.000 m.a.s.l. These species possess significant potential, particularly as food sources (Rubus idaeus, R. fruticosus) and pharmaceutical raw materials (R. corchorifolius, R. ellipticus, R. niveus…). Comprehensive research is required to evaluate the ecological risks, agronomic traits, alongside the pharmacological and biochemical properties of potential species. Such data is essential for management, preservation, and utilization of these resources.
