    (Elfitra, 2022-07) Habiba, Nur Hafsah; Isda, Mayta Novaliza
    Plants belonging to the family Taccaceae are tropical plants that have a unique flower shape. Tacca flowers have unique accessories in the form of bracts and bracteoles. Information about the Tacca plant is very limited. In additon, this plant is difficult to find in its natural habitat. This study aimed to obtain information on the morphology of the Tacca plant. This study used samples from Harau Valley, West Sumatra, and were subsequently propagated by planting in the Botanical Laboratory of FMIPA UNRI. Morphological observations were made on stems, leaves and flowers. The results showed that the morphology of Tacca sp had light green stem, the tip and base of leaf were tapered (acuminate) and the leaf blade was lanceolate. Flowers of Tacca sp were dark purple with four purple-black bracts and yellowish-white bracteoles (whiskers) with wavy shapes.
