Abstract


Nepenthes is a protected plant species and most of the highland Nepenthes species are classified as threatened. The growth and development of Nepenthes is influenced by abiotic and biotic factors in its habitat. This study was conducted with a survey method by determining the point of observation carried out purposively with a number of points as many as 4 points in each location. Furthermore, measurements of several morphological characters and leaves N. Singlana. Based on the results of the Mann Whitney U test obtained several different morphological characters, the top bag obtained by five morphological characters that are different from nine characters tested. Whereas in the bottom bag there are only two different morphological characters than the 10 morphological characters tested.
