Morphological Variation Interest on Several Varieties of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat

Abstract

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman morfologi bunga pada Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat, melalui pengamatan visual dengan menggunakan kamera digital yang dianalisis secara deskriptif. Varietas C. morifolium Ramat yang diteliti yaitu C. morifolium var reagen pink, C. morifolium var puma purple, C. morifolium var evergreen, C. morifolium var boris becker, C. morifolium var stroika, C. morifolium var tiger, C. morifolium var remix purple, C. morifolium var jaguar red, C. morifolium var rhino white, C. morifolium var pasopati, C. morifolium var towntalk. Dari 11 varietas yang diteliti menunjukkan perbedaan morfologi bunga, yaitu warna bunga pita, jumlah helaian bunga pita, jumlah lapisan bunga pita, bentuk bunga pita, ujung bunga pita, jumlah bunga tabung, posisi bunga tabung, diameter kuntum, panjang bunga pita, lebar bunga pita, bentuk cakram dan diameter pangkal cakram. Namun terdapat pula kesamaan karakter yang teramati yaitu tepi bunga pita (rata), warna daun pembalut (hijau), perlekatan antar daun pembalut (bentuk bintang), ujung daun pembalut (tumpul), daun pembalut memiliki selaput bening, jumlah lapisan daun pembalut (2), warna mahkota bunga tabung (kuning), putik yang bercabang menjadi dua dan berwarna kuning, serta kepala sari berwarna kuning. Dari hasil pengamatan dapat disimpulkan bahwa Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat memiliki perbedaan dan persamaan morfologi bunga yang beragam.Kata kunci : Chrysanthemum morifolium, morfologi bunga, varietas. ABSTRACTThe aim of this research was to know the morphological variety of flower in Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat through visual observation which use digital camera and then was analyzed descriptively. Varieties of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat in this research were C. morifolium var reagen pink, C. morifolium var puma purple, C. morifolium var evergreen, C. morifolium var boris becker, C. morifolium var stroika, C. morifolium var tiger, C. morifolium var remix purple, C. morifolium var jaguar red, C. morifolium var rhino white, C. morifolium var pasopati, C. morifolium var towntalk. From those 11 varieties showed the morphological differences of the flowers, which are the color of ray floret, the quantity of ray floret, the quantity of ray floret layers, the shape of ray floret, the tip of ray floret, the quantity of disk floret, the position of disk floret, the diameter of flower, the length of ray floret, the width of ray floret, the diameter of involucrum and the disk shape. However, this research also look the similarities between the varieties, which are the edge of ray floret (flat), the color of involucrum is green, the adhering of interinvolucrum (star like), the tip of involucrum (dull), transparent coating involucrum, the quantity of involucrum layers (2 layers), the color of the corolla tubes(yellow), the branched and yellow pistil, and yellow anther. From the results it can be concluded that Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat has multiple the morphological differences and similarities of the flower morphology between the vari...

Morphological diversity, total phenolic and flavonoid content of Echinacea purpurea cultivated in Karangpandan, Central Java, Indonesia

“…The flower of E. purpurea is the most obvious morphological parameter that can be directly noticed. E. purpurea belongs to family of Asteraceae, similar family with Chrysanthemum which has a similar flower morphology and arrangement as E. purpurea which consists of tubular flowers, sepals, petals, and stems (Purnobasuki et al 2014). The form of E. purpurea flower that is cultivated in the lowland has experienced many changes correlated to its parental.…”
