Furthermore, the DNA of the six Eugenia species was extracted from leaf samples and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR)analysis using six primers of arbitrary sequences.Results:Comparative botanical characters of the different organs were identified. On the other hand, the total number of amplified product was 68 fragments, whichwere generated by the six primers; the primer HB-09 recorded 55.5% as the highest percentage of polymorphism. As well as, the primer HB-44 recorded 54.5% polymorphism. The primer HB-15recorded the lowest percentage of polymorphism (10%)and the highest degree of similarity (90%).Conclusion:For the present study, microscopical characters, as well as, DNA fingerprinting can be considered as the identifying parameters to authenticate and differentiate between the six Eugeniaspecies under studyenEugeniaspeciesMyrtaceaeBotanical profilingDNA fingerprintingISSRArticlehttps://doi.org/
