Morphological and Anatomical Characteristic Kinship of Faloak Plant (Sterculia quadrifida R.Br) as Learning Source for Morphology and Anatomy of Plant Course Based on Local Natural Resources

—This study aims to determine the morphological and anatomical characteristic kinship of faloak plant (Sterculia quadrifida R.Br) growing in Kupang Regency as learning source for morphology and anatomy of plant course based on local natural resources. The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Biology Education Study Program, Kupang Muhammadiyah University from March to May 2019. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with cluster analysis method. To see the kinship of the plant, this study used UPGMA method of Nei and Li’s coefficient similarity through the MVSP software program version 3.2. The results of this study show that faloacic kinship from the three locations in Kupang Regency had a value of 77%. Meanwhile, anatomical characteristics show that the highest stomata density value was 5.6 stomata/µm and the lowest stomata density value was 2.9 stomata/µm.
