Perawang Village, Tualang District, Siak Regency. The study was conducted from
April to October 2022. The research method was survey and characterization at the
sampling site and in the laboratory. The diversity of 3 individuals of rosela plants,
based on morphological characters obtained the value of the coefficient of similarity in
the range of values from 0.32 to 0.39. The lowest coefficient values is between Hs1
and Hs2 individuals, while the highest coefficient values is between Hs1 and Hs3
individuals. Analysis of cluster showed that at 32% coefficient consisted of two large
groups.
