Abstract

Plant biodiversity information is one of the main sources of data in botany and conservation research. Difficulties in identifying plants using dichotomous key in identification process, can be assisted by using the morphological spot characters approach. The collection of morphological spot characters of plants was carried out by exploring the pavement areas and experimental gardens in SEAMEO BIOTROP, the spot characters was digitizing and layouts using Canva Pro. The results of the exploration were obtained 143 species, 119 genus and 45 families, the biodiversity dendrogram of the species was generated R Studio by the package V.PhyloMaker2. The spot characters information is then input into the biodiversity database developed at SEAMEO BIOTROP. Database of Spot Characters can be used as a tool in learning of plant morphology and help the process of plant identification.
