Identifikasi Karakter Morfologis Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) di Beberapa Kabupaten di Sumatera Utara

Identification of Morphological Characteristic of Andaliman(Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.)in SomeDistricts of North Sumatra

Abstract

This research aimed to identify the morphological chracteristics of andaliman in three districts of North Sumatra (Dairi, Tobasa and Simalungun). The research was conducted from May to September 2016 by survey method. Andaliman samples founded in three districs were identified and characterized based on International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) standard. Parameters observed were tree height, trunk circumference, crown shape, trunk colour, lamina shape, lamina lenght, lamina widht, leaf colour, leaf surface, lamina margin, spine shape, spine colour, spine lenght, flower colour, fruit diameter, fruit weight, young fruit colour, mature fruit colour, fruit shape, fruit taste, fruit aroma, number of seeds per fruit, seed shape, seed surface, young seed colour and mature seed colour. The research found two genotype of andaliman with local name simanuk and sihorbo.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakter morfologis tanaman andaliman yang ada di tiga Kabupaten Sumatera Utara.
