Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson is commonly known as 'Kenanga' or 'Ylang-ylang' which belongs to the Annonaceae family and belongs to the order Magnoliales. C. odorata is commonly used in several traditional ceremonies of the people of North Sumatra as well as for traditional medicine. C. odorata is introduced as the native/identity flora of North Sumatra, in which the condition for determining a native flora is that it must be recognized and favored by the community and is endemic in the said region. However, the lack of scientific publications regarding the identification of C. odorata from North Sumatra has hindered its recognition as an identity flora. This study aims to identify C. odorata plants originating from North Sumatra and through DNA barcoding using the trnL-F marker. Phylogenetic analysis of C. odorata from North Sumatra based on the trnL-F gene sequence showed that C. odorata from North Sumatra is part of the same group as the C. odorata obtained from GenBank. This analysis shows that trnL-F can be used to identify Cananga odorata down to species level. This research is expected to provide important information in the conservation of C. odorata plants. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
