This invention provides methods, compounds, and kits for identifying ginseng (Panax) species and for distinguishing between ginseng and imposter species based upon molecular variations. In particular, amplification primers are provided that amplify polymorphic regions of nucleic acid sequences to generate distinct amplification profiles in the different plant species. A plant may be identified by comparing its amplification profile to known amplification profiles of Panax and imposter species.
