Karakterisasi Morfologi Anggrek Phalaenopsis Hibrid

Abstract

Orchid is one of ornamental plants that have a high aesthetic value and Phalaenopsis hybrid is one type of orchid that was famous in Indonesia. Characterization of Phalaenopsis hybrid should be made to determine the similarity between hybrids and as a basic information on plant breeding activities. The purpose of this study was to study the morphological character and similarity of 5 gentype of Phalaenopsis hybrid i.e, four genotype white flowering hybrid, one genotype yellow flowering hybrids and Phalaenopsis amabilis ‘Cidaun’ ecotype. Based on the morphology of leaves and flowers, two of the four genotype white flowering hybrid have similarity coefficient 1.00, without observation on flower color. Every Phalaenopsis hybrid clustered together on the similarity coefficient 0.729, but one of three replications yellow flowering hybrids have similarity coefficient 0.47 with main differences in leaf shape and flowering types. Phalaenopsis amabilis ‘Cidaun’ ecotype have similarity coefficient 0.528 with main differences with Phalaenopsis hybrid in flowers shape and flowering types.
