Data collected for 7 morphological characters on black turmeric at the Experimental Garden Planted Sukamantri IPB by UPOV and BPPP descriptors. The result of principal component analysis has determined three main components with the proportion of diversity 83%. The results of the cluster analysis indicate that there are three cluster accession of black turmeric.
